Scientists say they have yet to determine whether Zilmax causes ailments so severe that cattle must be euthanized.

Heat and animal genetics, too, may be factors.

Factory farmed beef, nope no way I eat it.. the free range organic stuff is expensive true but hell at least it is not some chemical sponge full of crazy additives.
