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 to increase nutrient availability and 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.
