Özet

The aim of the study is to examine the studies on the use of honey bee venom (Apis mellifera) in broiler chickens in the form of a systematic review. Apitherapy can be defined as an alternative treatment method using bee products. Bee venom (apitoxin) is used in apitherapy as well as commonly known and consumed products such as honey, pollen, propolis and royal jelly. Thanks to the peptides, enzymes and active amines it contains, bee venom is a substance that is frequently studied in cancer research and a product that has important effects on the immune system. Several studies have been conducted on the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of bee venom, as well as its effects on developmental performance. In the studies, honey bee venom was used as a water and feed additive or by spraying in the hive. Honey bee venom added to drinking water was reported to significantly affect growth performance, its use as a feed additive had beneficial effects on immune system and liver functions, and its diluted form was effective against Salmonella gallinorum when sprayed into the pen by aerosol. Administration of honey bee venom extract to day-old chicks has a positive effect on growth, development and immune system. Studies on the use of honey bee venom as a feed additive in different animal species are also continuing. In this study, the effects of adding honey bee venom at different ages, in different ratios and in different ways in broiler production were investigated. © 2022 Uludag Aricilik Dergisi.
