METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION


1. Body mass data

An experimental investigation was conducted and data collected to ivestigate the effects of methionine treatment on body mass increase measuered in grams.

2. Biometry or Morphological traits (Head length, Wing length, and Tarsus length) were measured in nearest mm to collect the data to effectgate the effects of treatment on morphological development
