N.  aGrowth promoters in cattle and pigsba review of legislation and implications for human health.h[electronic resource]  c2021  aAbstract: Growth Promoters (GP) have been used for decades in animal production, although some countries restrict or forbid their use. With the increasing population worldwide, the demand for animal protein is also increasing, together with concerns about health, animal welfare and food safety. In this sense, the use of GP in cattle and pigs is an attempt to produce protein more efficiently. This review covers the legislation from the main meatproducing countries, GP restrictions, pharmacokinetics and mechanisms, besides possible effects of GP on human health.  aFeed additives  aMaximum residue limits  aPharmacokinetics  aSwine  aVeterinary drugs  aSuíno  aAditivos para alimentos para animais  aFarmacocinética  aLimites máximos de resíduo  aResíduos de medicamentos veterinários1 aFEDDERN, V.1 aGRESSLER, V.1 aCONTRERAS-CASTILLO, C.
