Where do I get the yeast. At Ts?

Only issue is too much b3 can cause skin irritation (in humans) . anyone know if its the same in poultry?

Brewers yeast is just as much $$ plus more vitiamins

I buy liquid b complex. Which has several different vitamins in it. 1mL of the liquid complex (which is the amount you can give to ducks with a niacin deficiency) is the equivalent to 400 brewers yeast pills. It’s crazy. You would have to get a duck to eat 400 brewers yeast pills every day. I know nutritional yeast is supposed to have more niacin but I haven’t looked it up.

Tractor supply in the cattle and poultry vitamin section. It’s in a yellow label and brown glass bottle. You will probably have to buy a large gauge syringe to pull it out. But it will last you forever. I put mine on treats and they eat it in a couple seconds.

No. I would put 0.5mL per bird of the liquid on treats everyday if they are nice and healthy. 1mL per bird per day if they are having leg problems or seizures. Pekins especially.

Or you can put it in the water, but it’s more wasteful so I don’t most of the time.

What they don’t use, they expel out in their poop.

Just to be clear, I’m only using the syringe to suck out the liquid. I’m not injecting them with it. Don’t want anyone to get confused.

1 ml has 100 mg... Seems normal?
My BY tablets has 2mg per 2.5 gram tablet. Same 10%

If u got the budget id do both. Sometimes not all the pellets are eaten. Liquid can be isolated to treates or water.

• Contains 4.0 ppm of B12
• Ingredients (Each mL contains):Niacinamide - 100 mg

The pellets is Niacin (min.) 1,000mg per pound.
