Abstract |
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of propolis on
broiler performance and carcass characteristics. The experiment was
carried out with a completely randomized design of 5 treatments,
supplemented with propalis at the rate of 0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 mg/kg
diet for 6 weeks. Results showed that body weight, weight gain, feed
intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly (P<0.05) higher in
the experimental diets throughout the experiment. From the results of
the present study, we concluded that propolis has positive effects on
performance and carcass characteristics of broilers.
