About phenylcapsaicin and aXiphen
The health benefits of chili peppers and their active ingredient capsaicin have been known for centuries. aXichem's proprietary molecule, phenylcapsaicin, combines capsaicin with a phenyl group. The result is an innovative substance with completely unique properties. As an ingredient in chicken feed, phenylcapsaicin is now a non-antibiotic alternative that inhibits salmonella, improves animal health and increases productivity.
Production trials conducted in Brazil 2025 confirm previous production trials and studies conducted in Europe, which proved the effectiveness of aXiphen® as an ingredient in poultry feed. The production trial in Europe included approximately 1.6 million birds and showed, under the test conditions and when 15 ppm phenylcapsaicin was added to the feed, a statistically significant reduction in the number of farms with salmonella-positive floor tests. The European Production Efficiency Model, EPEF, also showed that breeding efficiency increased by 14% compared to traditional feeding.
