Brewers Yeast

Does it matter what kind of brewers yeast you need? Does it have to be specifically for ducks?

I buy Josh's frogs brewer's yeast. it is not human food grade: its manufactured for reptiles! Not all brewer's yeast contains niacin. Be sure to check the formulation of any brewer's yeast you buy: make sure it contains niacin. I use Josh's frogs [I either buy it from Amazon as I have prime or in large quantities directly from Josh's frogs on line] as it is the cheapest that I have found and my son and my ducks consume a lot of it.

So if I were to go to the grocery store and buy brewers yeast for my new duckling it would be the same?

No not grocery store yeast. If you go to the grocery store, you need to buy nutritional yeast. It is not cheap but it packs more niacin per tablespoon than brewer's yeast.

Most grocery stores sell Braggs Nutritional yeast which is a small container you’re better off buying from Amazon or eBay if you have quite a few ducks. I buy off eBay 10 lb at a time my flock consists of 14 waterfowl and 13 chickens.
