Short summary
Optimizing grazing animal feeding improves livestock efficiency and reduces environmental impacts. Monensin use raises concerns about resistant bacteria and public health. Replacing monensin with capsaicin showed no differences in intake, digestibility, blood parameters, or ruminal fermentation. This suggests that strategic supplementation can enhance productivity and sustainability in livestock farming.
