An experiment was conducted to study the effect of various sources of Methionine on Nutrient Digestibility and Intestinal Morphometry in broiler chicken. In a CRD model, 375 broiler chicks (Vencobb) were randomly divided into five groups (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5), each containing 3 replicates with 25 birds in each replicate. The T1 group served as control group, T2 group was supplemented with synthetic Methionine (Nutrient requirements of ICAR 2013), T3 and T4 groups were supplemented with Methionine producing microbes (MPM) and T5 group was supplemented with combination of T2 and T3, respectively for a period of 42 days. The results of the experiment revealed that CP digestibility (%) was found to be higher (P<0.01) in synthetic Methionine (T2) treated group. Whereas, digestibility (%) of DM, EE and CF was found to be non-significant among all the groups. Similarly villi height, villi width, crypt depth of duodenum, jejunum and ileum were found to be higher (P<0.01) in synthetic Methionine (T2) treated group. Whereas, villi/crypt depth ratio of duodenum, jejunum and ileum was more (P<0.01) in Control group.
