In order to study the interrelationship of dietary methionine, choline and inorganic sulfate, a 2 x 2 factorial experiment was conducted with two levels of dietary methionine (0.34 %, 0.5 %), two levels of dietary choline (1,180mg/kg, 2,180mg/kg) and two levels of dietary sodium sulfate (0.18 %, 0.276 %) using a total of 320 broiler chicks for a period of 28 days. The growth response was obtained by supplementing the basal diet with methionine, choline or sodium sulfate alone (p0.05). The methionine x choline x sodium sulfate interaction was significant (p0.01). Supplementing the basal diet with sodium sulfate alone (equimolar sulfur) was as effective as that achieved by the addition of methionine alone. It may be suggested that methionine coul0964d be partially replaced by inorganic sul
