Zilmax (zilpaterol)

Zilmax (zilpaterol) is a medication used in cattle to promote muscle growth, making the animals gain weight more efficiently. It is a Beta-agonist that helps improve feed efficiency and increase the amount of lean meat produced. Zilmax is usually given during the finishing phase before slaughter, with withdrawal times before processing to ensure safety. Its use aims to enhance productivity in beef production, but it is regulated by authorities to ensure consumer safety and animal health standards.
