Ocimum tenuiflorum - Feed Ingredient

Ocimum tenuiflorum, also known as Holy Basil or Tulsi, is an aromatic herb native to the Indian subcontinent and widely used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. The aerial parts—leaves, stems, and flowers—are harvested and dried for use in herbal formulations.

This plant contains essential oils, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds such as eugenol, rosmarinic acid, and ursolic acid. These constituents have been studied in other species for potential antioxidant, antimicrobial, and adaptogenic effects. However, there is no robust scientific research validating its efficacy, pharmacology, or safety in horses.
