Information on niacin

I'm pretty sure that they just pee/poo out the excess. @Miss Lydia?

Yes B3 Niacin they do, but what about the rest of the B vitamins?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes they pee out what their bodies don't need.

Okay so of course there isn't much of a study for effects of B vitamins in ducks, but compared to humans it effects alot of the same things.
Yes since they are water soluble they usually will be descreted in urine. B6 (pyridoxine) overdose has been known to cause Neuropathy (disease or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves, typically causing numbness or weakness) in humans.
This was mostly in the case of those using prolong daily high dosages.

All I'm saying is to be careful using both Brewer's yeast/Nutritional yeast with B complex.

I'd only use the Liquid B complex till you see noticeable improvement then switch back to the Brewers yeast or Nutritional yeast. The liquid has all they will need till they get over the weakness. Then switch them back and they will need to stay on till 10 weeks old.

I completely agree. I was just concerned with using both for too long. Thanks Miss Lydia!
