Anyone help me on how much brewers yeast I should sprinkle on my ducks food? He is eating pretty good on his own now, and I am not sure how much to give

@miss lydia don't you use Brewers yeast?

Yes It's 1 Tab to 1 cup of feed.

I only have one duck and have never heard of doing this until I read the articles. The guy at the feed store didn't seem to know anything about ducks and didn't know any answers to our questions. If it wasn't for this group I wouldn't of known what to do. The vet has not had much experience with anything but four pawed friends, so we are actually sharing with him what this group has shared.

What if its the powder form. Still the same?

Yes. This is Human grade Brewers yeast right?
