Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of various levels of ractopamine hydrochloride on the performance and carcass characteristics of finishing swine
TL;DR: Six trials involving 888 pigs and three trials involving 360 pigs were conducted at various geographical locations in the U.S. and Canada to evaluate the effect of ractopamine hydrochloride on the performance and carcass characteristics of finishing swine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of ractopamine on growth performance, carcass composition, and cutting yields of pigs slaughtered at 107 and 125 kilograms
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that RAC had positive effects on the growth characteristics, carcass characteristics, and carcass cutting yields of pigs representative of the broad spectrum of market weights.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of ractopamine, energy intake, and dietary fat on finisher pig growth performance and carcass merit
TL;DR: It is indicated that ractopamine increases growth rapidly at the onset of feeding until a plateau is reached, after which there is a linear decline in growth response.

TL;DR: Feeding RAC to late-finishing swine resulted in faster growing, more efficient animals with increased boneless subprimal yields, and it had little effect on pork juiciness and flavor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palatability and visual characteristics of hams and loin chops from swine treated with ractopamine hydrochloride
TL;DR: Results indicate that RAC had no affect on the visual or palatability characteristics of boneless cured and smoked hams or fresh boneless pork loin chops.
