Zeranol is a non-steroidal anabolic growth promoter with potent estrogenic activity that is widely used as a growth promoter in the US beef industry. It is a mycotoxin, derived from fungi in the Fusarium family, it is an estrogen agonist. Zeranol is approved for use as a growth promoter in livestock, including beef cattle, in the United States. In Canada, it is approved for use in beef cattle only. Zeranol was officially banned in Europe due to safety concerns because of its potential carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting biological activity. Merck Animal Health markets zeranol under the brand name Ralgro. It has being shown, that zeranol may increase cancer cell proliferation in already existing breast cancer.

Pradofloxacin (trade name Veraflox) is a 3rd generation enhanced spectrum veterinary antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone class. It was developed by Bayer HealthCare AG, Animal Health GmbH, and received approval from the European Commission in April 2011 for prescription-only use in veterinary medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. The primary mode of action of fluoroquinolones involves interaction with enzymes essential for major DNA functions such as replication, transcription, and recombination. The primary targets for Pradofloxacin are the bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. Reversible association between Pradofloxacin and DNA gyrase or DNA topoisomerase IV in the target bacteria results in inhibition of these enzymes and rapid death of the bacterial cell. The rapidity and extent of bacterial killing are directly proportional to the drug concentration.
