Abstract

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of theophylline consumption on the electrocardiography indicators and performance traits of Japanese quails. The experimental diets including control (basal diet), and experimental diets containing of theophylline in levels of: 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 percentage of basal diet that supply almost amount 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg of the body weight, respectively. The result showed that the feed conversion ratio in quails fed by theophylline was significant (p
