Young duck leg problem

[Miss Lydia]

It will say on the bottle injectable but give it orally .

 

[chickens really]

Many use Purina Flock raiser or other brands of all flock and don't have any problems with it. But some duckling even though flock raiser has the right amount of niacin in it still need extra help that is where B Complex comes in.

So what?...Explain your thoughts on balance for Ducks please. I definitely want to read your thoughts..

I am talking about the 55ppm that is in Purina Flock Raiser which is the rec amount of niacin for water fowl that is why it's called All Flock

Adults don't require it so not needed...

 

[Miss Lydia]

Does not effect adults either, contact Purina and pick their brains about what is the right amount of nutrients for all water fowl I have fed Flock raiser from hatch till end of life for many of my birds and never had any problems with it.

Please read the following vet article published about poultry vitamin deficiencies. Then look at the ingredient label of the vitamin b complex bottle from TSC. Compare the vitamins in the bottle with the associated deficiency symptoms. It really should give you some good insight. And others here will echo my *opinion* that Pekins are the #1 breed likely to have vitamin deficiencies due to their size and rapid growth.

There is a study somewhere that says Pekins will do best with niacin at 70 ppm.
