The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bee pollen (BP) and propolis (PRO) supplementation on rabbits' productive performance and serum metabolites through a meta-analysis. Sixteen peer-reviewed publications were included in the data set. The rabbit strains used in the studies included in the data set were New Zealand White, V-line, Rex, and V-line crosses.

- - The study aimed to assess how bee pollen (BP) and propolis (PRO) affect the performance, health, and meat quality of growing rabbits, using 160 hybrid rabbits divided into four treatment groups.
- - Rabbits receiving propolis supplementation (PRO50) showed significant improvements in daily weight gain and feed efficiency, while all treatments with propolis and the combination of bee pollen and propolis reduced Eimeria oocyst counts, indicating better health.
- - Overall, propolis at the specified dosage was found to enhance growth and prevent coccidiosis in rabbits without compromising their health or the quality of their meat.
