Black pepper extract is a natural active substance derived from black pepper, with piperine as its main effective component. It has the functions of promoting absorption, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and bacteriostasis, can enhance nutrient utilization, improve body metabolism and immunity, and is widely used in food, health products, animal feed and other fields as an efficient and safe natural functional material.Notably, piperine may enhance bioavailability of curcumin by 2000% in humans.

As a natural and green feed additive, it can improve the activity of digestive enzymes, promote nutrient absorption, enhance feed utilization rate, boost immunity and stress resistance, and improve growth performance. It is widely used in livestock, poultry and aquaculture, serving as a safe and efficient raw material for antibiotic-free breeding.

Biological Functions
1. Regulates carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
2. Regulates oxidative stress
3. Exhibits antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
4. Promotes intestinal absorption of nutrients

Applications
1. As pharmaceutical raw materials for arthritis, rheumatism, anti-inflammation, detumescence and so on, it is mainly used in pharmaceutical field;
2. As products effective ingredients for improving blood circulation and soothing the nerves, it is mainly used in health product industry;
3. As active ingredients of skin care products, it is mainly used in cosmetic industry.
4. Added to feed additives as a natural antibiotic alternative ingredient.

Applications in Livestock and Poultry Production
1. Applications in Swine Production
Studies have shown that supplementing the diets of weaned piglets with piperine—either alone or in combination with other additives—can improve intestinal health and enhance growth performance.

2. Applications in Poultry Production
Numerous feeding trials have demonstrated that supplementing broiler diets with piperine or plant-based additives containing pepper does not reduce feed intake; however, it may exert positive effects on indicators such as weight gain, feed conversion ratio, immune function, and meat quality.

3. Applications in Ruminant Production
Piperine holds potential for regulating the rumen microenvironment and improving the growth performance of ruminants. Furthermore, its antioxidant and anti-parasitic properties are believed to contribute to improved health status in ruminants.
