Egg size can be managed through precise nutrient (amino acid) delivery. Knowledge of ingredient composition, control of environmental factors that influence feed intake and feedback of performance data (feed intake, production, and egg size) are critical components of a successful egg size management program. This information must be timely, accurate, and couple with effective evaluation procedures.

Key Words: Amino acids • egg size • environment • management
