The anterior pituitary gland creates the gonadotropin known as FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone. It plays a significant part in controlling an animal's estrous cycle. Traditionally, FSH is administered to cattle in order to stimulate super ovulation, which is necessary in order to produce the significant number of embryos needed for embryo transfer.
