Do you still put brewer’s yeast/nutritional yeast in duck pellets?

[anonymous99]

When they start eating pellets when they’re old enough, do they still need yeast? I still have some nutritional yeast left, but I’m unsure if my ducks still need it now that they’re eating pellets at their age (21 weeks). I don’t want them to have leg problems. I feed my ducks the dumor all flock pellet feed that contains 17% protein. It doesn’t say how much niacin is in it, but it was the only pellets that I could find that were less than 18% or 20% protein. Do they still need yeast?

I would. If isn't specifically a duck feed, it may not have enough niacin.
You can call Dumor and they'll tell you what the niacin level is.

Even when my ducks are full-grown they get Nutritional yeast. It's so good for them.

I don't do nutritional yeast, but my adult ducks every few weeks get a dose of Poultry Cell in their water overnight. It's not something you have to do if your duck feed has the correct amount of niacin, but a lot of people like to give the extra boost.

I feed nutritional yeast at least until they are 6 months old, but then I also will give them some here and there as a supplement. It won't hurt them.
