Ractopamine

Description:
Ractopamine is a synthetic beta-agonist primarily used as a feed additive in livestock to promote leanness and improve feed efficiency. It functions by stimulating beta-adrenergic receptors, which enhances muscle growth and reduces fat deposition in animals such as pigs, cattle, and turkeys. Ractopamine is characterized by its chemical formula C18H21NO3 and a molecular weight of approximately 301.37 g/mol. The substance is typically administered in low concentrations and is known for its rapid absorption and metabolism in animals. While it is effective in improving growth rates and feed conversion, ractopamine has been subject to regulatory scrutiny due to concerns about its potential effects on animal welfare and human health. Some countries have banned its use in food-producing animals, while others have established maximum residue limits. Its safety profile continues to be evaluated, and it is important for consumers and producers to be aware of the regulations governing its use in different regions.
