Abstract: Sixty‐four nulliparous female rabbits were distributed among eight groups (eight animals/group). Group one was the unsupplemented control group; the other seven groups were supplemented with zinc bacitracin (ZnB) at 100 mg, or bee pollen (BP) and/or propolis (Pro) at 150 and 300 mg in a capsulated form, three times a week, day after day, continuously all over the experimental period. The experiment was run for eight parties; at each parity, 28 kids of each doe group (a total of 224 rabbits) were divided into t… Show more

“…Numerous antibiotics, including chlortetracycline, tiamulin, bacitracin, monensin, and colistin, have been commonly used in European commercial rabbit farms in prophylactic dosages to act as growth promoters or to control pathogenic bacteria (Mateos et al 2010;Attia et al 2019). However, repeated use of antibiotics leads to increasing their residue in animal products together with antibiotic resistance in bacteria in both animal and human (Romero et al 2012).…”

“…Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, it becomes crucial to look for "alternative friendly additives" which can replace the routine usage of drugs, antibiotics, and vaccines in the field of rabbits' production (9). Several alternatives to antibiotics have been used, such as probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, enzymes, essential oils, and immunostimulants (5,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). One possible candidate is using lysozyme (LZM), which can be used as a growth promoter in feed ingredient as a potential replacement for dietary antibiotics (15,16).…”

“…An interconnected factor could explain the beneficial effects of propolis on immune response and intestinal characteristics and ecology (Figure 2). Propolis improved productive and reproductive performance in rabbits, as shown by higher litter size, survival, and growth rates of kits (Attia et al, 2015(Attia et al, , 2019a. A subsequent study indicated that supplementation with propolis produced increased white blood cell and lymphocyte counts, greater phagocytic activity, and increased levels of serum β-globulin, indicative of higher antibody response (Attia et al, 2019b).…”

“…In broiler chickens, propolis reportedly enhanced performance and health status (Attia et al, 2014;Abou-Zeid et al, 2015;Rabie et al, 2018). In rabbits, propolis was effective in replacing zinc bacitracin (antibiotic) with positive improvements in growth performance, economic benefit, immune status, and reproduction (Attia et al, 2015(Attia et al, , 2019a(Attia et al, , 2019b.…”
