Abstract

Piperine, a kind of alkaloid, is found in several plants of Piper L.. It has attracted extensive attention of scientists worldwide due to its biological functions, including enhancing utilization of other biomolecules, regulating oxidative stress, ameliorating glucose and lipid metabolism, regulating immunity as well as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory functions. Here in this paper, we review some biological functions of piperine in recent studies and its application progress on livestock and poultry, to provide theoretical basis for its further development as a novel feed additive and high-quality and healthy breeding service of livestock and poultry.
