    Niacin Deficiency in Waterfowl

    Niacin Deficiency in Waterfowl

    I don't have any advice about oral med technique, but this happened with our Pekin. After a week or so he wouldn't take the complex on anything. I found this powder on Amazon and mixed it into his water. It seems to be pretty flavorless once it dissolves...

    Niacin Deficiency in Waterfowl

    I so appreciate this thread. I thought I had read everything, and our duck starter has (supposedly) adequate Niacin, but I hadn't read anything about the higher requirements of Pekins.
