The Effect of Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) Leaf Powder on Growth Performance, Selected Hematological Indices, Carcass Characteristics and Meat Quality Parameters of Jumbo Quail

Green tea leaves contain a wide range of active bio-compounds that are essential for sustainable quail intensification; however, its feed value is not known the Jumbo quail. Therefore, this study evaluated effect different levels green leaf powder (GTLP) on physiological and meat quality parameters One-week-old chicks (n = 350; 56.1 ± 2.12 g live-weight) were evenly distributed to 35 replicate pens reared five experimental diets formulated as follows: standard grower diet with zinc-bacitracin (PosCon), without (NegCon), NegCon treated 10 (GT10), 25 (GT25) 50 g/kg (GT50) GTLP. Weight gain linearly decreased in week 2 but increased 4, whereas conversion efficiency declined weeks 3 GTLP increased. Overall intake, carcass yield, caecum colon weights showed linear increase levels. Hematological fell within normal ranges reported healthy The GT10 group larger liver than PosCon groups. It was concluded dietary inclusion enhances overall intake performance efficiency, hematological
