Halquinol is composed of a mixture of chlorinated products of quinolin-8-ol. Chlorinating quinolin-8-ol yields a mixture, generically called halquinol, which contains 5,7-dichloroquinolin-8-ol (5,7-DCL; 57-74 % w/w), 5-chloroquinolin-8-ol (5-CL; 23-40 % w/w) and 7-chlorquinolin-8-ol (7-CL; 0-4 % w/w). Halquinol 60% premix is composed of chlorohydroxyquinoline (halquinol; 60 % w/v), and chalk (calcium carbonate; to 100 % w/v).

Structural formula: Structures of 5,7-dichloro-8-hydroxy quinoline (5,7-DCL), 5-chloro-8-hydroxy quinoline (5-CL) and 7-chloro-8-hydroxy quinoline (7-CL), are shown below:  

Halquinol is widely used as a non-antibiotic growth promoter for animals. This product slows down intestinal peristalsis; increases absorption of nutrients and water; improves feed conversion rate, and promotes growth of animals. Its alkaloids, with quinoline ring as parent nucleus, has extensive pharmacological activities and is widely used for prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal bacterial infection, anti-protozoa, and anti-fungus.

As a growth promoter, Halquinol proves itself superior to Zinc bacitracin, Virginiamycin both in terms of improving bodyweight and reducing mortality.

Halquinol is well-tested growth promoter for Broilers, Layers and Broiler breeder flocks. It is also a very effective remedy for crop mycosis, wet droppings.
