What is Ractopamine? |
|
Ractopamine is a drug that is used as a feed
additive to promote leanness in pigs raised for their meat.
The feed additive Paylean®, produced by the U.S. company
Elanco Animal Health, contains ractopamine hydrochloride.
Paylean was approved by the United States Food and Drug
Administration on December 22, 1999, and has also been
approved in more than 20 countries, including Australia,
Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Thailand. However it is banned
in other countries, including China; which prohibited its
use in 2002. |

Ractopamine in feed for animals is
responsible for dramatic muscle growth, yet it is not a
steroid or hormone, but rather a compound known as a beta
agonist. Only a trace amount of ractopamine need be added
for a marked increase in protein and decrease in fat
accretion in animals, in particular swine. For the last 90
pounds of live weight gain, a mere 18.5 grams of ractopamine
added to a ton of feed (20 ppm) will increase protein by 24%
and decrease fat by 34%. |
