Abstract:

Pepper, serving as both condiment and vegetable, plays an important role in human daily diet and health. In addition, pepper and its extracts can boost livestock and poultry productivity by enhancing disease resistance, improving feed conversion ratio, and alleviating heat stress. This paper introduced three application modes of pepper (pepper powder, capsaicin, capsicum oleoresin) as feed additives, as well as its application and action mechanisms in poultry, pigs, ruminants, rabbits, rats and aquatic animals, in hoping to provide a fresh perspective on the use of pepper and its extracts in animal production.

Key words: pepper, capsaicin, capsicum oleoresin, animals of different species
