Abstract

Growth promoters (G.P) made of non-nutrients materials. G.P is given to animal to enhance their production level, efficiency of food intake and absorption and increases animal body resistance against diseases. Hormones are another G.P which used for first time in USA then were inclusive to animal production system to other industrial countries. By application of G.P, production level was increased, lactation period was extended and the level of fat storage in adipose tissue was declined. There was development in muscle in meat animal too. In some countries the use of antibiotics and hormones as G.P is banned. Scholars are trying to find appropriate alternatives instead of G.P (antibiotics and Hormones).
