Goslings and Niacin

[ILoveMyDucks123]

Hi!

Do you supplement Niacin to your goslings?

I'm new to geese and the breeder told me they didn't give it to their goslings, but I'm not too sure if I should give them supplements or not given I always gave Nutritional Yeast to my ducklings up until at least 8 week old.

Thanks

Yes, they need a bit more niacin than ducks. Mazuri waterfowl starter, Kalmbach duck & goose feed, and some all-flock feeds should have enough niacin already.

Otherwise, I’d probably supplement 1-2 tbsp of yeast / cup of feed while they’re growing and sprinkle a bit over their feed as adults.
