ABSTRACT
β-Agonists or β-adrenergic agonists are synthetic drugs sometimes used for therapeutic purposes in veterinary medicine. However, these compounds also belong to a class of illegal growth promoters that decrease the fat content in farm animals. The purpose of this study was to develop an analytical LC-MS/MS confirmatory method for the detection of nine β-agonists in bovine retina and liver tissues. The obtained CCα values ranged from 0.29 to 1.54 µg kg
