The prohibition on the use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) requires us to look for alternatives so that livestock maintenance remains in optimal conditions, both from livestock production parameters, disease incidence rates, and mortality percentages in livestock. Protecting livestock from disease infection is an important factor, if the condition of the livestock is healthy, the production performance will also be optimal. The condition of the digestive tract is an important factor that must be considered, the digestive tract is the main organ for metabolism and absorption of nutrients, the condition of the digestive tract will greatly affect the performance of livestock production. Halquinol is one of the preparations that can support maintenance programs without AGP.
Halquinol is widely used as a non-antibiotic antimicrobial preparation for livestock. This product slows intestinal peristalsis, increases nutrient absorption and juice gastric, optimizes feed conversion, and improves animal production performance. Alkaloids with a quinoline ring on halquinols have broad pharmacological activity and are widely used for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal bacterial infections, anti-protozoa, and antifungals so that halquinols are classified as antimicrobial preparations. In addition, Halquinol also has no resistance to bacteria so it is safe to use.
Halquinol acts directly on gastrointestinal smooth muscle to slow down intestinal peristalsis, so halquinol can be used in cases of diarrhea. The slow peristaltic movement in the intestines will increase the digestive process of feed and increase the absorption of water content in the digested feed, so that cases of diarrhea can be minimized. The recovery of the condition of livestock that are experiencing diarrhea can also improve more quickly.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that Halquinol can be used as an alternative to raising livestock without AGP because the overall mechanism of action of halquinol can support the maintenance of the health of the digestive tract of livestock. Optimizing the health of the digestive tract of livestock is expected to be the main barrier in the absorption of nutrients provided and minimize disease infections, so that livestock rearing can run well.
