Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of clenbuterol (CB), a beta2-adrenergic agonist, as a growth and weight gain promoter in broilers. Effects of CB were assessed, mixing it in feed at 0.0, 0.21, 0.42 and 0.84ppm, and feeding during four weeks to four groups (n=75) of 28 day-old Arbor Acres chickens. The body weight (BW) and food intake at 0, 12, 20 and 28 days of the study were recorded. Also abdominal fat (AF) and total muscle proteins were measured. Results indicate that from day 20 until… Show more

“…For example, salbutamol that improves carcass quality of finishing pigs because it decreases the total fat (20.39%) and increases lean meat (10.74%) [3]. In addition, clenbuterol and salbutamol were used in broiler chicken diet, to increase growth and decrease abdominal fat deposition rate [4], [5]. However, there is no study report stated negative effect of using these compounds in animals and consumers.…”
