Got Questions?

Are Maple Leaf Farms Ducks given hormones?

NO – We never have, and we never will. Hormones are illegal to give to poultry in the United States. We do not use hormones or any other steroid growth promotants to produce our ducks or duck feed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has banned the use of hormones in raising poultry (chickens, turkeys, duck, and other fowl) since the 1950ss.

Are Maple Leaf Farms Ducks given antibiotics?

NEVER for growth promotion. Our licensed veterinarians prescribe antibiotics only to treat sickness. We believe it is the humane thing to do to ensure our ducks are as happy and healthy as possible. Antibiotics are NEVER used for growth purposes. When prescribed for illness, we adhere to a withdraw period prior to processing.

What are your Ducks fed?

Our ducks eat an all-natural diet of corn, wheat and soybeans and other essential vitamins and minerals. We buy the corn and soy used in our duck feeds from local farmers. Our ducks are not fed antibiotics, hormones, steroids, animal proteins or any growth promotants.

Is Duck healthy?

White Pekin duck is a healthy and nutritious alternative to other meats since it is lower in fat & calories compared to other meats. Duck fat is rich in monounsaturated fats like olive oil is and very low in saturated fat. Since the fat is mainly in the skin, it can be easily rendered off or removed prior to cooking. A skinless duck breast is only 110 calories per 4 oz. serving and 2 g of fat total, making it lower in calories and fat than even chicken breast. Duck also contains more essential nutrients like iron & selenium per serving than most other meats & poultry.

Where do you raise your Ducks?

All of our ducks are raised in Northern Indiana on family farms. A majority of our farmers are Amish. All of our farmers follow our strict Trident Stewardship humane guidelines to ensure our ducks are being treated responsibly and raised in the best environment possible. All farms are routinely checked, to ensure farmers are following our guidelines, and each farm is given an in depth audit every other year.

Are your Ducks free range?

All of our ducks are raised in climate controlled barns with windows that have access to the outside air. We do not raise our ducks in a free range or open water environment because they are at great risk for predators. We also want to ensure they eat and drink the healthiest food & water possible, and they will forage anything they find outside on the ground. Ducks are also much more likely to catch diseases outside, especially in large pools of water. Additionally, during the harsh Indiana winters, we do not want the ducks exposed to extreme weather conditions. We want protect our ducks from all of these threats to ensure they are as happy and as healthy as they can be.
