A total of 180 42-w-old healthy <i>Linwu</i> laying ducks were allocated into control or EGCG-treated groups. Each treatment had 6 replicates with 15 ducks in each replicate. Diets for the two groups were basal diets supplemented with 0 or 300 mg/kg EGCG, respectively.

Results showed that EGCG increased the egg production rate (<i>p</i> = 0.014) and enhanced the immunocompetence by improving serum levels of immunoglobulin A (<i>p</i> = 0.008) and immunoglobulin G (<i>p</i> = 0.006). EGCG also fortified the antioxidant capacity by activating superoxide dismutase (<i>p</i> = 0.012), catalase (<i>p</i> = 0.009), and glutathione peroxidase (<i>p</i> = 0.021), and increasing the level of heat-shock protein 70 (<i>p</i> = 0.003) in laying ducks' liver.
