N.  aA review on growth promoters still allowed in cattle and pig production.h[electronic resource]  c2021  aAbstract: The demand for food is expected to grow substantially in the next few years; however, to feed the human population adequately it is necessary to ensure global food production. Undoubtedly this will lead to a higher protein requirement, consequently more meat. Therefore, producers, animal researchers and feed manufacturers will need to enhance animal nutrition and productivity, for instance. Growth Promoters (GPs) are widely used to accomplish these needs, and minimize economic losses. Thereby, this review aims to report the current scientific data on the use of GPs in cattle and pig production, their effect on meat quality and carcass traits, and possible impacts on animal health. It was noted that GPs have relevant benefits on carcass composition, although there are some minor negative effects on meat quality. Risks to animal health are low, given that the correct GPs dosages must be administered.  aBeef  aFeed additives  aPork  aVeterinary drugs  aAlimentação Suplementar  aPorco Tipo Carne  aProdução de Carne  aRação  aDroga veterinária1 aFEDDERN, V.1 aGRESSLER, V.1 aCASTILLO, C.
