Efficacy of Olea europaea leaves and propolis extracts in the control of experimentally induced infectious bronchitis in broiler chickens by Sawsan S Elbasuni, Hatem Bahgat, Mai O Nada, Marwa S Khattab, Amira Abugomaa, Haitham Hamam, Mohamed Elbadawy

“…Moreover, the viral shedding in the OLP-treated chicks (G4) was significantly decreased in tracheal and cloacal swabs to a rate less than 3×103 IBv genome copy number and became not detectable at 14-days post-infection (dpi) in their cloacal swabs. In conclusion, OLP can potentially display an antiviral effect against IB in broiler chickens. …”
