porcine pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone

Porcine pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (pFSH) is a protein-based gonadotropin extracted from porcine pituitary glands, currently in development by Xiamen Origin Biotech for applications in veterinary reproductive medicine. As an agonist of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), it mimics the physiological role of endogenous FSH by stimulating the recruitment, growth, and maturation of ovarian follicles in female animals. This mechanism is particularly valuable in livestock management for superovulation protocols, which aim to induce the release of multiple oocytes for embryo transfer and genetic improvement programs. The product is typically administered via intramuscular injection and is designed to provide a potent and reliable source of FSH activity for synchronized breeding and assisted reproductive technologies in species such as cattle, sheep, and swine.
