Administering vitamin B3 to Pekin Duck

[meliaolesen]

So today I got my liquid vitamin B3 which I will use to help our pekin duck with the niacin deficiency. Our problem here is that we aren’t sure how to safely inject it orally with a syringe without harming it in any way. Does anyone know how to do it?

IMO, All Natural brewers yeast mixed in their food, way easier and safer over orally.

Yeah we have also been doing that and all 3 of our ducks have been eating the same things including the feed with brewers yeast and yet one duck is still having problems which we suspect is niacin deficiency. I have read up on it and apparently it’s not impossible for one duck in a flock to end up with a deficiency even though they’ve been eating the same.

Put 1 ml over something really tasty he likes just enough treat so he gets full dose.

Thank you so much! Should it be a solid food like a treat?
