Effect of honey, royal jelly and bee pollen on performance, immune system and blood parameters in Japanese quail

The effect of honey, royal jelly and bee pollen on performance, immune system and blood factors of Japanese quail, using 160 quail chicks in a completely randomized design by four treatments]control (without additives), pollen powder 1 g/kg, royal jelly 125 ppm/L, honey 22 g/L) and four replicates of 10 chicks in each replication for 42 days. The experimental groups had no significant effect on feed intake and mortality rate (P>0.05) in whole period. Birds that received honey in drinking water, the best daily body weight gain and feed conversion ratio had compared to other groups.The experimental groups had no significant effect on the antibody production against sheep red blood cells. The highest antibody titers against Newcastle disease and Avian Influenza viruses were related to honey treatment (P
