    Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees, rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which have been extensively studied for their biological properties. The objective of this study was to systematically analyze the available scientific evidence on the use and benefits of propolis in veterinary medicine during the period 2014 2024. The methodology was guided by the PRISMA 2020 statement, with a descriptive qualitative approach. Relevant scientific databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, and Google Scholar were consulted, initially identifying 5,332 publications related to the use of propolis and its biological properties in human and veterinary medicine. After the screening process, eligibility, and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria related to the year of publication, type of study, animal species, and therapeutic use, 30 articles were selected that specifically addressed the antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and antiviral properties of propolis in veterinary medicine for the final qualitative synthesis. The results demonstrate that propolis has potential for use in productive and companion animals, mainly against Gram-positive bacteria, pathogenic fungi, and dermatological problems. In conclusion, propolis is a promising therapeutic alternative in veterinary medicine; however, its clinical application requires greater standardization in its composition, dosage, and form of administration, as well as the development of controlled experimental studies to support its safe and effective use.
