Specifications
Target Information
Estradiol benzoate is a synthetic estrogen hormone used in veterinary medicine, particularly in beef cattle, as a growth promoter. It's often implanted in the ear to increase muscle growth and feed efficiency. The food safety concern arises from the potential for residues of this hormone to remain in the meat of treated animals. While the amounts are typically very low, consuming meat with hormone residues can be a health concern, especially for sensitive populations.
