BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT INGREDIENTS
Turn up the heat, turn up the yield! With BoruCare® Capsin.
CHALLENGE
Meeting the nutritional requirements of ruminants is becoming more and more challenging. With fluctuating availability of feedstuffs, the ever-evolving nutritional requirements of high producing animals and the impact of more frequent heat waves, the pressure is on.
In order to tackle these challenges, ruminant diets need to be more robust in their digestibility, energy and nitrogen efficiency.This is most important for maintaining, or even improving, production levels under stress conditions, like heat stress.
SOLUTION
Supplementing ruminant diets with natural ingredients offers a sustainable solution to alleviate the negative effects of heat stress on production. BoruCare® Capsin is a natural feed supplement obtained from the grinding of Capsicum fruits, without any solvent extraction, and containing a minimum of 0.5% capsaicinoids. Dietary inclusion of BoruCare®Capsin has several beneficial effects on gut function, resulting in increased milk yield and an overall positive contribution towards a sustainable and profitable milk production.
MODE OF ACTION
In scientific literature it has been shown that capsaicinoids stimulate digestion through salivation, bile secretion and excretion of digestive enzymes. This results in improved nutrient absorption by increasing the length of intestinal microvilli and the activity of membrane-bound enzymes. Consequently, energy efficiency is improved by lowering pancreatic insulin secretion, and thus increasing glucose availability in the metabolism, including the mammary gland.
BENEFITS
BoruCare® Capsin improves the production efficiency of ruminants, contributing to a better use of dietary nutrients, such as energy and protein, even under heat stress conditions. In addition, the environmental footprint is reduced due to lower fecal nitrogen excretions, helping a more sustainable livestock production.
• Natural ingredients without using solvents
• Increased nutrient digestibility
• Improved milk yield
APPROACH
BoruCare® Capsin is a natural product rich in capsaicinoids, derived from chili peppers without any solvent extraction. These compounds enable ruminants to:
• Enhance nutrient digestibility by stimulating pancreatic and intestinal enzyme activity
• Optimize energy efficiency by increasing glucose availability
• Lower nitrogen excretion by increasing its retention and improving overall nitrogen efficiency
• Significantly increase the yield
100% natural without solvent extraction
