CORRELAÇÃO ENTRE DOSES DE EXTRATO ETANÓLICO DE PRÓPOLIS APÍCOLA E RENDIMENTO DE PORÇÕES DO APARELHO DIGESTÓRIO EM SUÍNOS

The aim of this study was to correlate intestinal parameters of pigs in the nursery phase with different doses of ethanolic extract of beekeeping propolis orally. A completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates was used. The treatments were 0, 2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 ppm of Propolis Ethanol Extract. The animals were slaughtered when they reached 30 kg of live weight. The stomachs and intestinal portions of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum were collected, measured and weighed for the correlation analyzes. Statistical tests of Pearson correlation were applied between the variables collected. The BIOESTAT 5.0 software was used for the analysis. No differences were observed in the Pearson Correlation Coefficients between propolis doses and the development of the pig digestive tract in the nursery phase. The ethanolic propolis extract did not influence the development of the stomach and intestinal porcine portions in the nursery phase.
