No. B vitamins have to be given at relatively high amounts to cause issues.

Most medications, in general, are absorbed into the body faster via injection vs orally. Muscle tissue posses a greater blood supply than subcutaneous tissue therefore IM will be considered superior to SQ as far as the absorption rate. You could probably get away simply giving the medication...

Do you know what duck breeds you are raising?

Do you have a link to the product website? Flakes tend to stick to the feed better, contrary to the powder which may end up at the bottom of the feeder unused. If your ducks are showing current signs of a niacin deficiency, you may find it necessary to give vitamin B complex, then maintain...

If one is to feed a feed formulated for ducks, supplementation isn't usually necessary for grown ducks. Niacin supplementation is more focused on ducklings as they tend to require a higher niacin requirement than grown ducks. You can supplement niacin in ducklings using nutritional yeast, human...

When I click the link, several products pop up. If you are referring to the Natures Promise Free Brand, that will work.

Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm glad to hear they're doing better. Do you happen to have any videos of before and after vitamin treatment?

Glad to hear they're doing ok after that scare. I'm not contradicting with what the veterinary toxicologist said, but, there are several cases of niacin toxicosis, not only with birds, but with dogs, and even humans. Luckily the amounts in which niacin becomes toxic are quite high. I believe...

Just sprinkle it over top.

Can you elucidate on this a little more? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Hi, there! Out of curiosity, what feed do you have him on, and what's his age? Would you mind sharing a video of him walking?

So glad to hear that! What a great picture by the way!

Smashed peas are great for duckling, and actually contain a fair amount of niacin, just have grit source available in a separate dish so the ducklings can digest, and absorb the treats better. I'm coming to the conclusion that you have other ducklings, but there smaller breeds, so you're...

Yes! Most articles on niacin deficiencies in ducks fail to mention that Pekins/ and other heavyweight breeds require more niacin then medium to smaller weight breeds. It only makes sense that a tiny Call would require less niacin then a fast heavyweight Pekin. If people understood that, I...

They're looking great!

That depends. What breed are your ducks, and what brand of feed are you feeding them?

I'm not sure, but you could get Purina Flock Raiser, which is formulated for ducks and chicks, and can be fed from hatch to death. https://www.purinamills.com/chicken-feed/products/detail/purina-flock-raiser-crumbles Make sure to post that here, I'd love to see how it turns out!

I'm not sure why, but Lisa Steele's BY brand contains very little niacin. Your feed should have an adequate amount of niacin for your Buff's, but if you want, you could add Nutritional Yeast to their feed instead, which contains more niacin, and has a less bitter taste. As for the constant...

Going off from your avatar, these are Buff Ducklings correct? What kind of niacin supplement are you using, and what are they being fed? Do you have a picture of what their being kept in?

I responded to your thread in case you didn't see.
