Niacin Supplements for Feed or Water - What do you use?

[Kiki]

So the awkward part is I have no clue which is better for chickens and ducks. Both provide B3 however to put this in layman's terms flush free niacin is a derivative of niacin. Niacin helps with LPL, flush free niacin will not, chances are you ducks and chickens and geese don't have cholesterol problems but I can be wrong. And I don't think you're giving high enough volume to create a flush effect. Since were adding it into their feed most of the time you're not going to have that flush effect ( food typically eliminate stuff itchy skin part).

I personly go with just regular niacin because flush free is technically not considered niacin but Niacinamide.

But I don't know and I'll be the first one to tell you that even though there's a difference between the two I couldn't tell you which is better for poultry.

Looks like the flush free kinds are "Inositol Hexanicotinate"
not nicotinamide.

Fush free is Niacinamide. Let me "call a friend"

I'd be quite skeptical out of any studies coming out of Wazzu...

And I don't think I've ever seen a flush free niacin that doesn't have Niacinamide. Honestly don't even know what that little articles talking about

The article is from

I have not idea what Wazzu is/means.

Here is a flush free that does not contain it:

Inositol Hexanicotinate it's pretty much a synthetic form of niacin created to fully release and not have a flush affect.

Niacin is not that expensive to need to go to a synthetic alternative
