Abstract (EN)

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of dietary green tea powder on performance and some blood metabolites of broiler chicks. A day old male broiler chicks (ROSS 308) were divided 4 treatments groups with similar live weight (42.49 g), containing 20 birds each. The birds were fed basal diets (control group), 2, 4 and 8g/kg green tea powder supplemented diets for 5 weeks period. Feed and water are given ad libitum. Broiler performance was assessed by recording weekly feed intake, weekly live weight gain, carcass weight and abdominal fat weight end of the experiment. At the end of the experiment all birds from each group were randomly chosen to take blood samples. The serum was analyzed for TAS, TOS, ALT and AST. The results show that performance and carcass slaughter characteristics were not affected by green tea powder supplementation compared to the control group. Serum OSI and ALT concentrations have increased by green tea powder supplementation. The results obtained present study suggests that the supplementation of green tea powder did not affect the performance, however oxidative capacity was decreased by treatment.
