Halquinol is one of the most beneficial antimicrobial compounds that are administrated to poultry and pigs. It is widely used internationally to promote better growth rates in animals and birds. It also demonstrates higher feed conversion efficiency. Predominantly it is used in Asian and Latin American countries.It actively depresses the metabolism of the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract of animals and birds, which enhances the transit time of feed in the intestine. This augments the absorption procedure of nutrients and the overall digestion system. Another Halquinol use is to prevent and treat scours in swine, which are caused by E.coli and Salmonella spp. It controls diarrhoea and wet droppings.(1)

What is Feed Additive & Growth Promotant?

Feed additives are chemical compounds that are mixed with animal food. It has several nutrient properties that improve the quality of food, health, and performance of animals. The components of these food additives provide beneficial effects on the animal and its consumer.

Growth promoters are also nutrient components that are mixed with the food of animals. It enhances the growth rate and reproduction performance. When administrated at the right dose, it is safe to use and demonstrates a high success rate. Such growth promotants supplement the required nutrient level and also treats ailments in poultry and farms animals, which left untreated, interrupt their productive level.

Benefits & Features of Halquinol

• It is highly active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
• It has an anti-peristaltic activity that promotes the absorption of nutrients.
• It systematically gets absorbed and works in the GI tract.
• Any resistant development has yet not been observed.
• It is safe to use for farm animals as well as the end consumer. (3)
