The effects of microencapsulated hot chili pepper on the blood metabolites and physiological parameters of dairy cows.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The administration of hot chili pepper in cattle nutrition has been suggested to influence immune responses, antioxidant activities, and physiological parameters. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of microencapsulated hot chili pepper (MCP) supplementation on blood metabolites, antioxidant capacity, and physiological parameters in crossbred dairy cows, contributing novel insights into metabolic and physiological adaptations under tropical production systems. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four crossbred lactating cows ( Results: Significant interactions between treatment and time were observed for hematocrit, red blood cells, and hemoglobin (p < 0.05), indicating physiological adaptations potentially related to increased water intake. Serum albumin levels were significantly lower in MCP-supplemented cows compared to controls (p = 0.006), suggesting a modulation of lipid transport mechanisms. Temporal variations significantly affected 75% of hematological parameters and 83% of biochemical parameters. Although antioxidant parameters (DPPH, TBARS, TEAC) did not differ significantly between groups, notable temporal changes were observed (p < 0.05). Physiological parameters showed significant temporal variations but no consistent effects due to MCP supplementation. Conclusion: Supplementation of dairy cows with MCP significantly impacted hematological parameters and serum albumin levels, revealing potential metabolic adjustments involving lipid transport and hydration status. However, oxidative stress markers and physiological parameters remained largely unaffected by the supplementation. These findings support the potential regulatory role of MCP in dairy cow metabolism, emphasizing its relevance as a dietary additive in tropical livestock production systems.
