Are you putting probiotics in their water if so until there about a month old I don't think you need to worry about niacin and it's that point I would give them frozen peas in their water keys are a good source of niacin for ducks. I still give my grown ducks peas daily. that's how I've raised my ducks and they have done fine but I'm not an expert in this so if you were looking for expert advice you might want to look further.
When you say slow their growth are you saying like mute your growth?You can cut their feed with oatmeal, 25% by volume. Also you can feed 3x a day after 2 weeks which will slow their growth as well.
I also know in order to eat certain foods ,they have to have grit because I don't have a gallbladder so their food does not process like ours does chickens have gallbladders.
But they should also be getting sand at this point should they not
Are you giving yours probiotics. Are water. I give my two cans of peas a day have all their life in the beginning I'm mashed them up.and they've never had any problems. I prefer peas over niacin. But I'm not an expert you might want to get an expert advice I don't like giving mine drugs.Our ducklings are a week and a half old and growing very quickly. Am very worried about their development.
