Be carful with any canned foods as they can have high sodium content.

It is listed in several duck raising books as safe for them as long as you don’t exceed over 10% of the daily food with it.

i give my ducks both dry and wet cat foods at different times but specially during molts.

That's interesting, I'll have to research more about what is in the foods.

It is mainly for a different type of protein. In almo all foods we feed it’s all plant based but the animal protein absorbs differentlay in the body. At least from what I read.

Yes. Think of wild ducks and what they consume.
