Niacin Dosage for Call Ducks

[Notquitesure]

Does anyone know the correct dosage of Niacin for call ducks?

Depends what form you give it them in.

I use the powder brewers yeast type so don't need to worry about it too much - but be careful with the vitamin tablet form tho (don't know dosage as don't use!)

I've just bought the 250mg caplets.

Thank you very much though. I'll try to use that if I can't find a correct dose.

How old are your ducks/ducklings? very young ducks should get 100mgs per 1 gal of water you'll have to crush the pill extremely well then add to the water and shake the daylights out of it to mix it well . give daily till 10 weeks old
