Can veterinary GH be used in humans?
Bovine somatotropin is used in cattle to increase milk production.
It works thru IGF
'The effects are mediated by the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system, which is upregulated in response to BST or rBST administration in well-fed cows.'

Excess GH in humans be it from natural acromegaly or chronic GH overdose can cause gyno and milk production:
Carpal tunnel syndrome and gynaecomastia during growth hormone treatment of elderly men with low circulating IGF-I concentrations.
Carpal tunnel syndrome and gynaecomastia during growth hormone treatment of elderly men with low circulating IGF-I concentrations. - PubMed - NCBI
Use of growth hormone for prevention or treatment of effects of aging.
Treatment of nonelderly GH-deficient adults with recombinant human GH (rhGH) improves body composition, muscle strength, physical function, and bone density, and reduces blood cholesterol and cardiovascular disease risk, but is often accompanied by carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral edema, joint pain and swelling, GYNECOMASTIA, glucose intolerance, and possibly increased cancer risk.

Growth Hormone (GH) excess is an uncommon cause of gynecomastia encountered in primary care. Adults with GH excess (acromegaly) have a 72% increase in mortality compared with the general population, which is reversible with early detection and intervention.
