API Description: Ractopamine hydrochloride is a synthetic β-adrenergic agonist used as a feed additive for meat-producing animals like cattle, swine, and turkeys to promote leanness and improve growth efficiency. By redirecting nutrients, it increases lean muscle mass and reduces fat deposition, making the animals more efficient in converting feed into meat. The drug is approved as a feed additive in the United States and a few other countries but is banned in the European Union, China, and many other jurisdictions due to safety concerns and potential adverse effects on animal welfare and human health.
