Growth promotants include all agents used to increase the rate of body weight gain. Used principally in food animals but also in horses with a view to increasing muscle mass and physical performance, and in any species to hasten recuperation in animals debilitated by illness. Pharmaceutical preparations are principally anabolic steroids. Husbandry procedures include oestrogen and zearalenone implants and dietary supplementation with antibiotics, monesin and, in the case of pigs, copper.

DEF

Qui favorise l'anabolisme et donc augmente l'efficacité des aliments ingérés.

OBS

On s'intéresse surtout aux anabolisants protidiques qui contribuent à la formation de la musculature : en favorisant la synthèse des protéines et en bloquant le catabolisme les concernant.

OBS

On distingue les anabolisants stéroïdes du type androgénique (testostérone) naturelle ou de synthèse, ou une structure de type oestrogénique. [...] Le second type d'anabolisants est constitué par ceux qui n'ont pas la structure stéroïdienne, ce sont des dérivés de l'acide résorcique ayant une légère activité oestrogénique résiduelle (zéranol par exemple).
