Ananas comosus (Pineapple) - Feed Ingredient

Ananas comosus, commonly known as pineapple, is a tropical fruit rich in water, sugars, vitamin C, manganese, and various phytonutrients. The fruit also contains the proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which has been studied for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties.

In equine nutrition, pineapple or its components are not typical feed ingredients. However, dried pineapple, pineapple extract, or bromelain derived from the fruit may be included in specialty supplements or health products. These are usually added in small quantities for flavoring, digestive support, or antioxidant contribution.
