AB  - This study evaluated the effectiveness of adding oral Vitamin A to the standard treatment for crop candidiasis in budgerigars. A total of 60 budgerigars aged 1-4 years with confirmed crop candidiasis were divided into two groups. Group 1 received Nystatin, Metoclopramide, and Enrofloxacin, while Group 2 received the same treatment along with oral Vitamin A for 14 days. Clinical scoring was used to assess symptoms pre- and post-treatment on a scale of 1 to 5. Statistically significant improvements were observed in both groups (p

N2  - Bu çalışmada muhabbet kuşlarında kursak kandidiyazı için standart tedaviye oral A Vitamini eklenmesinin etkinliği değerlendirildi. 1-4 yaş arası, kursak kandidiazis tanısı konan 60 muhabbet kuşu iki gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1, Nystatin, Metoklopramid ve Enrofloksasin alırken, Grup 2 aynı tedaviyi 14 gün boyunca oral A Vitamini ile birlikte aldı. Semptomları tedavi öncesi ve sonrası 1'den 5'e kadar bir ölçekte değerlendirmek için klinik skorlama kullanıldı. Her iki grupta da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar gözlendi (p
