Black Pepper - Feed Ingredient
Black Pepper is the dried, unripe fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, commonly used as a spice and flavoring agent. The active compound in black pepper is piperine, which is responsible for its pungent taste and has been studied for its potential effects on nutrient absorption and metabolic processes.
In equine feed and supplement formulations, black pepper is occasionally included in small quantities, typically in powdered or extract form. It may be added to enhance palatability or as a functional botanical in herbal or metabolic support blends. Piperine has been investigated in other species for its influence on bioavailability of certain nutrients and phytochemicals, although specific data in horses is limited.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Black Pepper as an ingredient.
