##'''''Hormone-like growth promoters'''''<br>These include synthetic hormones (e.g.Diethylsibestrol), natural hormones (e.g. estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone), fungal oestrogens (Zearalenone), Beta-agonists (Trenbolone) and thyreostatics. Risk associated with these compunds can be difficult to evaluate as administered natural hormones may be dificult to distinguish from endogenous hormones in animals & people. Also synthetic hormones given to young animals may not be detectable at time of slaughter. | ##'''''Hormone-like growth promoters'''''<br>These include synthetic hormones (e.g.Diethylsibestrol), natural hormones (e.g. estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone), fungal oestrogens (Zearalenone), Beta-agonists (Trenbolone) and thyreostatics.
