Popis: This experiment was conducted to study methionine requirements in broiler breeder hens aged from 26-35 weeks. The treatments were consisted of six levels of methionine (0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4 and 0.45%), with five replicates of eight birds (Seven hens and one rooster). The results showed that different levels of methionine had no significant (p>0.05) effects on egg weight, unsettable (double yolk, small size) and settable eggs. The methionine levels significantly (p0.05), but total titer against sheep red blood cell (SRBC) and IgG responses were influenced (p
