Nutritional Yeast vs Brewer's Yeast

[Ratchnick]

Then you go talk to a mod they are the ones responsible for doing it this way. I’m not bothered by it actually nice it’s right there in plain view.

Yeah i think bumble foot and niacin stickies should be right at the top in bold and red!

So per the company’s website, each scoop contains around 2mg, now they recommend giving birds a half a scoop, so the niacin content would be 1mg per scoop. Which is not much at all.

Is it any different from other brands of brewers yeast?

Yes, Livestock Yeast generally contains less niacin than other brands. I believe livestock yeast is something like 2mg per coop, other humans brands 5mg per scoop.

I've got capsules of niacin, going to be adding some to the water.

Thanks for your advice and research.

New duck owner here and I’ve read tons about supplementing the feed UNLESS you use starter feed that has added nutrition. I got gamebird starter by Ranch Pro and haven’t added anything. Everyone talks like they’re adding supplements, should I be doing it too? I don’t want my ducks to have too much/too little of anything. They get a handful of mealworm treats in the evening too.

sorry in advance if I should’ve made a separate thread, but everyone here seems very knowledgeable

Gamebird starter is intended to be fed to Gamebirds, I'm not saying it can't be fed to waterfowl, I know some do, but you might want to contact the company and ask for the niacin content per kilo. I tried searching a niacin estimate, but it seems it greatly varies with the brand and species. Gamebird feed has a little higher protein then duck feed, but many feed it with no reported problems.

Ultimately, this will tell you if you need to supplement with niacin at all.

What breed of ducks do you raise?

I had tried researching the Niacin content with no luck as well. That’s the feed they recommended at the feed store that I purchased the ducklings from. I have a white layer, blue Swedish, and a magpie , all are just a couple weeks old
