Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is a popular herbal plant with abundant health bene‐
fits, and thus, it has been used as a potent antioxidant for a long time. Based on the
available literature, the diversity and the availability of multifunctional compounds
in green tea offer its noteworthy potential against many diseases such as liver and
heart diseases, inflammatory conditions and different metabolic syndromes. Owing
to its bioactive constituents including caffeine, amino acids, l‐theanine, polyphenols/
flavonoids and carbohydrates among other potent molecules, green tea has many
pharmacological and physiological effects. The effects of green tea include anti‐oxi‐
dative, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐arthritic, anti‐stress, hypolipidaemic, hypocholester‐
olaemic, skin/collagen protective, hepatoprotective, anti‐diabetic, anti‐microbial,
anti‐infective, anti‐parasitic, anti‐cancerous, inhibition of tumorigenesis and angio‐
genesis, anti‐mutagenic, and memory and bone health‐improving activities. Apart from its utilization in humans, green tea has also played a significant role in livestock
production such as in dairy, piggery, goatry and poultry industries. Supplementation
of animal feeds with green tea and its products is in line with the modern concepts of
organic livestock production. Hence, incorporating green tea or green tea by‐prod‐
ucts into the diet of poultry and other livestock can enhance the value of the products
obtained from these animals. Herein, an effort is made to extend the knowledge on
the importance and useful applications of green tea and its important constituents in
animal production including poultry. This review will be a guideline for researchers
and entrepreneurs who want to explore the utilization of feeds supplemented with
green tea and green tea by‐products for the enhancement of livestock production
