Abstract

Use of bee products in poultry breeding
Abstract
Poultry production has recently faced many challenges such as climate change, spread of disease and improper use of antibiotics. Providing safe and healthy products for consumers is the main priority of all livestock farms. Bee products have emerged as promising natural alternatives to antibiotics due to their nutritional and therapeutic properties. Bee therapy is an alternative method that includes prevention and treatment of some diseases with bee products such as propolis, royal jelly, flower pollen, etc. The results show that bee products can positively affect the physiological traits of poultry, including reproduction, health, safety and product quality. Therefore, bee products have high potential as a safe and effective additive for poultry production and can be a promising natural alternative to growth promoters, reproductive stimulants and immune enhancers in poultry farms to provide safe and healthy products for humans.
