Usage

General Description

(4-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrophenyl)arsonic acid, also known as roxarsone, is a chemical compound that is used as an additive in animal feed. It is composed of a phenyl ring with hydroxyl and nitro groups, as well as an arsenic atom attached to the phenyl ring. Roxarsone is used in poultry and swine production to promote growth and prevent parasitic infections. However, concerns have been raised about its safety and potential health risks, as it is known to contain arsenic which can be harmful to both animals and humans. As a result, its use as a feed additive has been banned in some countries.
