Characterization and evaluation of Colombian propolis on the intestinal integrity of broilers
Resumen
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of propolis supplementation in diet of broilers. Four hundred and fifty straight-run Ross 308 AP broilers were fed with a basal diet (BD) throughout the whole experimental period. Birds were randomly distributed into five groups at day 14: negative control without antibiotics nor propolis (AGP-), positive control 500 ppm of Zinc Bacitracin as growth promoter (AGP+), and three groups supplemented with 150, 300, and 450 ppm of propolis. Propolis concentration was increased from day 22 to 42, in experimental groups to 300, 600, and 900 ppm of propolis, and 10% of raw soybean was included as a challenge in all groups. Analysis of productive parameters, intestinal morphometry, and relative quantification of genes associated with epithelial integrity by qPCR were performed at 21 and 42 days. The groups with the greatest weights were those that consumed diets including 150 (21 d) and 900 ppm (42 d) of propolis.
