哈喹諾是氯化8-羥基喹啉的混合物，作為抗大腸桿菌和沙門氏菌的飼料添加劑，有效成分為5,7-二氯-8-羥基喹啉(57%-74%)、5-氯-8-羥基喹啉(23%-40%)和不超過4%的7-氯-8-羥基喹啉。
　　哈喹諾的抗菌機(jī)制是通過與鐵、銅和鋅等金屬離子螯合，阻斷酶合成。另外，哈喹諾直接作用在動物腸胃平滑肌，通過降低腸胃蠕動性，提高營養(yǎng)吸收率，對患痢疾的牲畜，療效特別顯著。
　　國外大量實驗證明，動物對哈喹諾吸收很少，藥物殘留問題可以忽略，甚至對產(chǎn)蛋期家禽也無停藥期要求，哈喹諾是非常安全的產(chǎn)品，是喹乙醇、卡巴多和喹烯酮的替代產(chǎn)品。

DESCIPTION
Halquinol is a controlled mixture of chlorhydroxyquinolines. The constituents act synergistically to enhance biological activity.
The antimicrobial effects of halquinol derives from its ability to chelate metal ions, particularly iron, copper and zinc. In bacteria, fungi and protozoa, essential trace elements are thus removed, and enzyme functioning ceases.
Additionally, halquinol acts directly on gastrointestinal smooth muscle to slow down peristaltic activity. Thus absorption of nutrients, particularly in animals suffering from diarrhoea, is enhanced, and performance criteria are improved markedly.
Since very little halquinol is absorbed, residues are not a concern and no withholding period is needed, even for laying birds. Halquinol acts entirely in the gut and systemic activity is not necessary. Halquinol is a very safe product.
