I started using Spirulina sometime in June 2024 because it was recommended to me by a friend who's mare suffers from sweet itch, like mine does. I have tried all sorts of remedies, including natural ones but always landed up giving her two steroid shots in the summer (which only last for a short while). We are now mid August and I have not given her the second shot. To say that I am impressed, is putting it mildly. I am hoping if I start it earlier next year, I will eliminate the steroids altogether. Now I do need to mention my mare suffers from sweet itch around her neck and shoulder areas on the mild side. Also, I live in the great, hot/muggy state of Texas where summers are very long. I followed the instructions to add a little at a time. She did not eat it the first time, bu...

Monosodium phosphate is the only way to balance our rations - much appreciated! There is a remarkable excess of calcium compared to phosphorus in our soil, forages and (every) ration balancer we've added to the analysis, and the imbalance would be amplified for those on a feed or alfalfa hay due to caloric needs. This may be the only remaining, reliable and palatable source of phosphorus (without calcium), since Uckele seems to have ceased producing it (company was sold in 2023). A word of caution: not all soils and forages are imbalanced in the way ours are, so do your homework: get a representative sample of your soil(s), forages and any feeds (more than once), check the NRC tables, and do the math - consult your veterinarian and/or find a qualified nutritionist -- before adding this o...

My 26 year old mare experienced mild colic earlier this year for the first time. We went through the treatment and it reoccured a few weeks later. My vet suspected we were dealing with [REDACTED] as my mare was concurrently dealing with issues gaining weight, poor coat quality, reoccurring skin issues, and general ick. You could tell she just didn't feel good. I started her on this Visceral+ and a month later she was putting on weight, regaining topline, bright-eyed and sassy! Her skin issues have also subsided. I'm convinced her body was just fighting too much and thanks to this supplement she's getting all the nutrients she needs to live her golden years comfortably. A nice side effect of starting this supplement is you may also end up with a nice dark summer coat that isn't sunbleached ...

I really have to hand it to Mad barn for their products. I started my mare on Omneity and Spirulina approximately one month ago. She was a metobolic nightmare after purchasing hay testing too high in sugars over the winter. I was feeding what I thought was a good grain for her weight to ensure she was getting the proper minerals she needed along with it only to realize she was overweight and inflamed everywhere and ready to tip over the edge to become a founder case. Mad barns products have helped to see some changes in just a month along with the information their site provides, I am jumping with joy to say we’re getting back on track to a healthier body weight and the lethargy my mare once had has been replaced by a happy appy again. Thank you to Madbarn. We are grain free and on the rig...
