    2 Purpose

    Quinoxaline drugs can inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestines, increase the digestion and utilization of feed, promote animal growth and development, and increase the rate of lean meat in livestock and poultry
    .


    In addition, such drugs such as CBX, OLQ, MQX, QCT and CYX can inhibit the DNA synthesis of gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria in livestock and poultry , produce antibacterial effects, and treat swine dysentery and bacterial enteritis


    CBX and OLQ were used earlier and were widely used in the 1970s
    .


    CBX is mainly used as a pig feed additive in the United States and Canada, and OLQ is mainly used in Australia, Brazil, Japan and China
