Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of Propolis on growth performance, carcass characteristics and some blood parameters in broiler chickens in response to Heat stress condition. A total of 160 one day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly divided into four treatment groups in a completely randomized design with four replicates of 10 Birds each. The experimental treatments including: 1) control (basal diet), 2) the basal diet with Neomycin (200 g/ton), 3) 150 mg/kg Propolis, 4) 200 mg/kg Propolis in diet. Birds submitted to Heat stress (32± 2º C from 10. 00 AM to 6. 00 PM) from 15 to 42 d of age. The results showed that, average mortality was lower in Propolis groups than in the control group (P < 0. 05). None of the feed intake data was influenced by treatments during different periods. Birds receiving diet supplemented with 200 mg/kg Propolis had a significantly (P < 0. 05) higher body weight compared to the control group at the finisher feeding phase and whole period. In the finisher phase and whole period, the lowest (P < 0. 05) fed conversion ratio (FCR) was observed in chickens fed 200 mg/kg Propolis. Cholesterol and LDL level were lower in chickens fed diet with Propolis compared to control (p < 0. 05). In conclusion, the addition of Propolis at a rate of 200 mg/kg to the diet could reduce the negative effects of Heat stress in broiler chickens.
