The effects of Turkish propolis on growth and carcass characteristics in broilers under heat stress

New emerging fields of application of propolis

“…However, the large-scale commercial use of propolis as a food preservative is not yet a reality, because it would require proper standardization.

“…The test subjects have been different animal species, including poultry (chickens, laying hens, quails) [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48], lambs [49,50], cattle [51], sheep [52], pigs [53], and fish: sea bass [54], rainbow trout [55][56][57], Nile tilapia [58][59][60], and carp [61] (Table 2). In general, propolis has a positive effect on the biochemical parameters, growth and productivity of the test animals, and is regarded as a possible alternative to antibiotics in animal feed.…”

Influence of propolis extract in Hubbard JV chickens nutrition on oxidative stabilty of meat

“…Broiler chickens are the most abundant animal species in breeding and meat of broiler chicken is used for poultry products and foodstuffs (Perry et al, 2002;Moreki et al, 2010). In recent period, after the ban of antibiotics and coccidiostats in poultry nutrition in EU, different alternative supplements, e. g. probiotics, prebiotic preparations, plant essential oils and their extracts, enzymatic preparations and bee products (pollen, propolis or their extracts), have begun to use for their positive influence on health state, feed utilization, nutritional and sensory quality of product as well as economics of poultry industry production (Prytzyk et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2004;Haščík et al, 2005ab, 2007Shalmany and Shivazad, 2006;Seven et al, 2008). Vennat et al (1995) stated, that propolis contains large amount of flavonoids and shows wide range of activities.…”
