Regulation Mechanisms of Capsaicin on Animal Organism and Its Application in Ruminants
Capsaicin is a natural plant compound widely present in pepper.It plays an important role in regula-ting animal health,such as dietary capsaicin supplementation has a significant impact on immune regulation,antioxidant capacity,pain relief,rumen fermentation and gastrointestinal microbial diversity in animal organ-ism.This review focused on the regulation mechanisms of capsaicin in animals and its application in ruminants,in order to gain a deep understanding of how capsaicin regulates animal health,and provide a reference for the application of capsaicin in ruminant production.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(12):7591-7600]
