Markets & Applications
Better feed digestibility and absorption for improved performance
Higher performance in stressful times
BoruCare® Capsin, the only fully naturally derived powder of capsicum, is rich in capsaicinoids. These compounds, known for their spicy taste, are recognized for their ability to activate a specific gut receptor, that further leads to improved feed digestibility and glucose availability. These combined effects of BoruCare® Capsin increase nutrient availability to the mammary gland supporting overall animal performance, particularly during stressful conditions such as heat stress. It is recommended to supplement with BoruCare® Capsin during the early lactation phase and peak summer months to maximize milk yield and promote sustainable farming practices.
A unique, environmentally-friendly, fully natural process and easy handling
The production process of BoruCare® Capsin involves grinding the entire chili pepper, ensuring that all secondary metabolites are retained without the use of solvent extraction methods. This unique approach consists of three key steps: grinding the whole chili pepper, standardizing the capsaicinoid content to a minimum of 0.5%, and encapsulating it in a fat matrix. The result is easy handling properties, including reduced pungency and irritation, compared with other capsaicin-based products. With this innovative and natural process, BoruCare® Capsin stands out as an environmentally-friendly solution that preserves the beneficial properties of the chili pepper while offering superior handling properties.
