[Possibilities in the use of anabolic substances as veterinary drugs for metaphylaxis and biotechnology].

An account is given of the latest developments and trends in using anabolic preparations in animal husbandry. The development of veterinary medicaments for metaphylaxis and biological engineering in industrialised animal husbandry is explained and substantiated, with reference being made to protein-anabolic and growth-stimulating properties. However, full observation of and compliance with codes and bylaws on drug and food production will depend strongly on efficient interdisciplinary socialist teamworks.
