Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 levels in diarrhoeic goat kids. For this purpose, blood sample witdrawn from 10 diarrhoeic goat kids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group I); and 10 healthy goat kids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group II);. Diagnosis of giardiasis was performed with multiple methods including microscopic examination and rapid test kits. Mean 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 levels were determined as 33,37 ng/ml in diarrhoetic goat kids and 86,78 ng/ml in control and that is found to statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Consequently, it was convinced that giardiasis-related intestinal malabsorption may cause severe reduction in vitamin D levels and vitamin D supplement should be administered proper and sufficient doses due to anti-microbial effect with anti-giardial medication in treatment regime.
