This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with capsaicin (CAP) on productive performance, milk composition, nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and serum metabolites of dairy cows using a meta-analytical approach. The database included 13 studies, from which the response variables of interest were obtained. Data were analyzed using a random effects model, and results were expressed as weighted mean differences between treatments supplemented with and without CAP.

- Aedes albopictus is a disease-carrying mosquito, and researchers are exploring effective ways to attract these mosquitoes using different plant infusions.
- Four types of grass infusions (Cenchrus purpureus, Cyanodon dactylon, Megathyrus maximus, Pennisetum ciliare) were tested in various settings to see which would effectively attract gravid (egg-laying) females.
- The study found Cynodon dactylon was attractive in the lab, while both Cynodon dactylon and Megathyrus maximus were attractive in semi-field settings; however, no infusions attracted mosquitoes in field conditions after a 14-week trial, suggesting more research is needed for real-world application.
