OSTRICH FEED FOR DUCKS

[Bochama]

Hi everyone. I went to the market today and told them to give me duck feed. I got around 30 kgs of the feed and turns out its ostrich feed. Is it ok to feed that to my ducks?

The fat may be a tad high but it should feed ducks nicely.
How old are the ducks?

They are around 3 and a half month old. Fully feathered. 2 females and 1 male. Will it be unhealthy

I don't think it will be unhealthy. Most of the nutrients are right in line with duck feed.
The only problem I see is the label doesn't say what the niacin content is. You could call the feed mill and ask what that number is or just feed some brewer's yeast with the feed to make sure they get enough.

Ok sure. I actually give them nutrional yeast because I think the feed doesnt contain that.
Thanks!
