Jalapeno Chili - Feed Ingredient

Jalapeño chili refers to the fruit of the Capsicum annuum plant, commonly used for its pungent and spicy flavor. In its dried or ground form, it may occasionally be included in animal feed formulations in small quantities, often for flavoring or as a natural stimulant.

Jalapeños contain bioactive compounds such as capsaicin, which is responsible for their heat, as well as carotenoids, vitamins (particularly vitamin C), and phenolic compounds. Capsaicin has been studied for its effects on metabolism, circulation, and microbial balance, but its inclusion in equine diets is uncommon and typically limited to experimental or niche products.
