Zilpaterol (zilpaterol hydrochloride) is a beta adrenergic agonist. Zilpaterol is used to increase the size of cattle and the efficiency of feeding them. Of particular concern is the use of beta-agonists prior to slaughter as this poses a risk to the consumer and may result in consumer toxicity. The Randox Food Diagnostics Zilpaterol ELISA test kit is intended for the semi - quantitative determination of Zilpaterol on beef tissue samples.
