    abstract = {This experiment was conducted to evaluate the
effects of Iranian Green Tea (IGT) powder in diet onblood
parameters and carcass traits of broilers. We used four
treatments consisting (Basal diet+IGT 5 g kg<sup>&#150;1</sup> feed,
Basaldiet+IGT 10 g kg<sup>&#150;1</sup> feed, Basal diet+IGT 15 g kg<sup>&#150;1</sup>
feed and control) and three replicates (15 birds per pen).
Results of this study showed that effects of green tea on
cecum weight, LDL and Cholesterol were significant
(p<0.05). LDL and Cholesterol were high, that related to
control and 15 g green tea groups (p = 0.05), respectively.
Furthermore, the highest and the lowest weight mean of
cecum were related to 15 and 10 g kg<sup>&#150;1</sup> green tea groups
(p = 0.05), respectively. However, additives had no
significant effects on Glucose, Triglyceride (TG), HDL
and other carcass traits (p>0.05). Generally, this
experiment indicated that treatment with Iranian Green
Tea (IGT) powder don&#146;t have positive effects on the
broiler except to decrease of blood plasma LDL and
Cholesterol reducing the cardiovascular diseases.}
