description <b>Aim:</b> The present study was designed to determinate the effect of bee pollen as a feed additive on the selected parameters of antioxidant status of rats.<p> <b>Material and Methods:</b> Adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: One control group (C) and two experimental groups (E1, E2). Experimental groups received dietary inclusion of collected bee pollen at 300 mg/kg in E1 group and 500 mg/kg in E2 group for 90 days. The group received feed without bee pollen addition served as the control group. Contents of albumin, bilirubin, iron, and total antioxidant status and superoxide dismutase activity were determined with spectrophotometer.<p> <b>Results:</b> Supplementation of the diet with bee pollen in the dose of 500 mg/kg significantly (P<0.05) increased albumin content and total antioxidant status.<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> Bee pollen addition to diets may be a source for antioxidant in human and animals.
