Abstract

Propolis (bee glue) is the resinous substance collected by bees from the leaf buds & bark of trees, especially poplar & conifer trees. Bees use the propolis along with bees wax to construct their hives. Propolis has properties, such as antibiotic activities, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, Immunomodulatory, antioxidant, carcinostatic. The purpose of this study was to analyze  some  biochemical parameters of bee glue in drinking water of small chickens. The experiment  included three groups : first group (6 chicks) was given the drink water added to alcoholic propolis in 20% for month  twice daily. The second group (6 chicks) was given alcohol only at 20% while third group (6 chicks) was given drinking water only. The results showed no  significant differences at (p<0.05) in the first group ( treated group) as compared with control group in the level of total protein, urea, creatinine, (AST and ALT) aparameters but at a significant different (p<0.01)  might be show a few increase in (AST and ALT) negligibely compared with control group .
