Chemical evaluation of the quality of meat of broilers fed with the supplement of nature propolis

The effect of added supplement from nature propolis of the quality of broilers meat was researched in this paper. Besides resin plant components, propolis contain bee secretions of the salivary glands, such as lipophilic substances, mucus, adhesives, oils, and even wax. Propolis had many therapeutic activities such as antimicrobial (antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal), anti-inflammatory, regenerative (heals wounds and restores damaged tissue), immunostimulatory, anesthetic, spazmic and anticarcinogenic (antitumor), cardiovascular (reinforces the structure capillaries) and finally antioxidant. Usage of antibiotic growth promotors is abandoned in poultry production as well, it is neccesary to find alternative strategies for control and prevention of infections. Broilers buttlock and white meat from ten broilers from each experimental group were taken in order to examine the effect of addition of the supplement of nature propolis to the controlled food intended for broilers on chemical quality of broilers meat using standard chemical methodes. The data provided by this study illustrate beneficial effects of nature propolis supplement on the quality of broilers meat.
