One hundred twenty (n=120), Vanaraja laying hens of thirty weeks of age were selected and randomly distributed into four dietary treatments with three replicates in each group having 10 birds in each replicate pen. Four diets were formulated with 2600 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy (ME) and 13% crude protein (CP). The dietary treatments were: T1- diet contains 0.65% lysine and 0.28% methionine; T2- diet contains 0.70% lysine and 0. Highest and lowest HHEP was observed in the group containing lowest level of supplemental EAAs (0.65% Lys and 0.28% Met) and highest level of supplemental EAAs (0.80% Lys and 0.40% Met) respectively. Enhancing the Lysine and Methionine supplementation to 0.70% and 0.32% respectively, increased the egg weight significantly (P<0.05). Significantly (P
