See no reason why you couldn't but I never seen a cow eat a pepper. Try it and see.

Isn't is supposed to help with flies or something? Seems like I've read about folks including it in feed in the past.

Of course you can try, but why? Cows eat hay, fresh grass and grain well. I see no reason to pervert and feed all sorts of different vegetables, mushrooms and other things. I have not seen any adequate evidence that there is any benefit to animals from such supplements.

I give my cows banana's once a fortnight and they absolutely love them.. They know when it's banana day they come running over when I yell out to them... so why not give them something different than hay, fresh grass and grain?? They enjoy different food

Had an old brangus vow that would eat Jalopenos as long as I would give them to her. Guess she saw it as a treat.

Yes! I have 3 that fight over hubby's banana peel every morning. Bonus, if they're too ripe and they get the whole thing. And they do love baby carrots.

Forget banana bread makings. I have a 32 yr old Arab mare that throws a hissey fit if she doesn't get her morning peel and preferably the whole deal.

Some cows eat all sorts of different stuff and love it, others are fussy... I have one garburator cow, lemon peels, bananas, carrots, squash, peppers, apples, potatoes... half rotten is just fine for her
Then I have others that only want perfect treats, a black spot on a carrot and she'll spit it out!

I believe there is some research on capsicum in feed/mineral lowering core body temp.

Is used to improve an animals ability to handle heat stress. It encourages smaller more frequent meals and water intake. It also is a vasodilator and improves blood flow which also helps them handle stress. A natural feed additive that we use in both dairy and beef cattle in California

I've seen cows eat watermelon and they loved it.
