As you might expect, niacin deficiencies are very rare in grazing animals. When they do occur, they can usually be attributed to either antibiotic treatment or a highly concentrated diet with little natural forage.
In swine, poultry, and pets, another possible cause of a deficiency is feeding forms of vitamin B3 that the animals cannot use. There is some speculation that niacin deficiency may be caused by excessive amounts of leucine, an amino acid found in soybeans, but experts are not in agreement on this theory. Also, feeding vegetarian diets to cats is likely to cause a vitamin B3 deficiency.
