BoruCare® Capsin: Natural product for efficiency in dairy cows

BoruCare® Capsin

BoruCare® Capsin is a natural product rich in capsaicinoids derived from chili peppers, designed to enhance nutrient supply by maximizing feed digestibility and glucose supply in lactating dairy cows. This results in lower nitrogen excretion and increased milk yield.

Typical Applications

BoruCare® Capsin is a natural product containing a minimum content of 0.5% capsaicinoids. BoruCare® Capsin is typically included in feed for dairy cows during the first stage of lactation and during summer months to maximize its benefits.

Benefits at a glance

Enhances nutrient digestibility and absorption for improved performance
Supporting higher milk yield
Lowers nitrogen excretion, making dairy farming more environmentally-friendly
Exhibits excellent handling properties
Supplementation of 1 g per day per cow may increase milk yield by more than 1 kg/d

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.
