Riboflavin defiency

[lotsofloveforchickens]

Does anyone know what the dosage is for riboflavin liquid and how long to give it for ? My little chicken needs some supplements

From the Merck's Manual:
Chicks receiving diets only partially deficient in riboflavin may recover spontaneously, indicating that the requirement rapidly decreases with age. A 100-mcg dose should be sufficient for treatment of riboflavin-deficient chicks, followed by incorporation of an adequate level in the diet. However, when the curled-toe deformity is longstanding, irreparable damage occurs in the sciatic nerve, and the administration of riboflavin is no longer curative.

Good luck with your little one
