Abstract : Intensive production system infects considerable stress on poultry which adversely affecting costs of production. Antibiotics as classical growth promoting agents are widely used in monogastric diets in order to improve growth and performance. Oxytetracycline is one of these classical drugs that have a markedly antibacterial effect on numerous gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria that are found in the alimentary tract. Nowadays, there is an increase demand for using natural compounds which usually exist in medical plants instead of using synthetic drugs which may have adverse effects. Regarding green tea powder, it contains 30% polyphenolics compounds most of them are flavonds known as catechins. Major actions of green tea catechins are known to have antioxidant, anticancer agent, antilipienic, antibacterial, diuretic and antiatherosclerotic properties. Using green tea powder resulted in broiler with less fat and cholesterol as well as without any adverse effects on general performance. Extracts of Japanese green tea leaves inhibited the growth of various bacteria causing diarrheal diseases. The aim of this study to evaluate the use of green tea as a feed additive in broiler diets varying in protein content and its effect on immunological parameters and performance of chickes. Oxytetracycline was used as a growth promoting for comparison.
