Unfortunately, I can’t talk about the results as both my horses don’t find it palatable enough to eat it. I tried to present it with a feed that they like and it doesn’t help either. But one thing I was very happy with is the speedy delivery.

I honestly have given up on the visceral paste - terrible to administer at rides. And the pellets are expensive

Been using the correct weight based dosing for over a year now after an equine nutritionist consult with madbarn, however my young healthy 8 year gelding is deficient in vitamin E, and has elevated calcium. I also found a kernel of corn in the bag of premix. I sadly have doubts about this product. I otherwise really like madbarn and its customer service. I plan to reach out to them directly. However I want to post this here to encourage every consumer here to get vitamin E levels checked in your horse as it is very hard to stabilize this vitamin in powder and even then many horses (especially those not on fresh pasture 12 hours a day) may need more than what is here. Some horses may simply need additional vitamin E than what is provided in this (which is not mandarins fault)

I tried this for my gelding's fecal water syndrome. It maybe helped a little bit, but not enough for me to keep buying it. He did really enjoy eating it though! I will continue my search for a product that actually clears this messy issue up....

I’ve used this with okay results for a few years, but my mare is now unable to tolerate the whey in this feed. On this supplement, her gut is more susceptible to triggers and leaky gut syndrome. For a company that promotes itself as being species-appropriate and without fillers, this just doesn’t sit right. Whey is high up in the list of ingredients for Omneity. I would love to see reformulations of various powdered products for our horses who are prone to gut inflammation (remove whey, DDGs, rice hulls, etc.).

I’m incredibly disappointed in Visceral+ for the prevention of ulcers. My horse has been on Visceral for 8 months, and was scoped this week. He had grade 2 ulcers in the squamous region and grade 3 in the glandular region. I understand ulcer prevention goes beyond a supplement, such as proper turnout, access to forage, etc. . My horse shows so he does have a certain amount of stress he undergoes but every other horse in the barn with the same management techniques (and not on Visceral) had grade 1 ulcers or lower. Additionally upon further review of the clinical study by both myself and my vet we learned there was no control group for this study. That doesn’t seem like an accurate study if there was no control group to determine if horses recovered properly from ulcers without the Visce...

None of my 5 horses will even come close to trying this. It has a really strong smell. Will dye your hands and buckets/feed tubs (and clothes) green. What a mess - not a fan. Maybe if they made pellets that didn't smell??? This is a no for me, total waste of my money.

I bought this to balance my pony’s diet. She has Cushings and IR. The first two days she ate it great, then on the third day she was totally put off by it and refused all her food for the day. I haven’t been able to get her to eat it since. I think it upset her stomach, and she was only getting a very small amount. I was really surprised that she wouldn’t eat it because she’s the type of pony that will eat whatever I put in front of her. I’m bummed that she won’t eat it because I really liked that it was made for metabolic horses and now I’m left with a supplement that I can’t use. I have a 2 star because I’m a big fan of the other mad barn products, but will be looking for other options for my pony.

The new packaging is very disappointing. Very difficult to use; please bring back jugs with optional refillable bags.
