Abstract: A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effect of supplementing the diet of broiler chickens with propolis on growth, bacterial population of the intestine, antiviral serum concentration, intestinal morphology, and digestive enzyme activities in broiler chickens. Forty peer-reviewed articles that had been published between 2003 and 2019 were identified using the PRISMA protocol and included in the study. Data were analysed with mixed model methodology, in which the studies were considered random effects, … Show more

“…Ethanolic extract of propolis, when administrated in combination with formalized inactivated Pasteurella multocida vaccine, enhanced specific and nonspecific immune response and reduced mortality rate in rabbits [13]. In broiler chickens, propolis administration showed immunomodulation and decreased tissue damage caused by free radicals [37,38]. In addition, propolis has been found to suppress the adhesion of pathogens to the intestinal wall and, in turn, enhance systemic immune function, including the activity of natural killers and cytokine secretion [39].…”
