The effect of oil extracted from borago officinalis L. whole plant at flowering stage on some ruminal fermentation parameters of sheep
<em>Borago officinalis</em> L. is a plant of <em>Boraginaceae</em> family, which is commonly used for medicinal purposes. The oil of this plant is rich in essential compounds, which is likely to cause changes in the ruminal fermentation pattern. Hence, this study was carried...
