Abstract

Poultry industry success achieved in Brazil is due to nutrition advances. Many studies have emerged aiming to improve birds performance and especially egg production by manipulating the nutrient levels of diets in order to comply the requirements for obtaining higher yields. Methionine and lysine are considered as the first and second limiting amino acid for birds, respectively. Therefore, the correct diet supplementation is necessary to ensure the laying hens aspects of maintenance, growth and production.
