After finding samples of animal feed and pork
contaminated with growth promoting agents, there has been prevalent hue and
calls for immediate boycott of the consumption of pork owing to the rampant use
of steroids in the livestock breeding industry. Police had found traces of certain
banned substances (ractopamine and salbutamol) in animal feeds by a major pork
supplier to Ho Chi Minh City (Capital of Vietnam). This confirmation came out
merely a month after certain explicit images allegedly showed livestock farmers
inserting steroids containing beta-agonist growth promoting agent in their
pigs.
