Short summary
The effect of adding propolis to high-energy feed for laying hens on performance values and ratio of liver fat was investigated. High-energy feed adversely affected egg production and liver fat ratio, but the addition of 100 or 200 mg kg-1 of propolis improved egg production and decreased liver fat ratio.
