Great product BUT..... the new packaging is HORRIBLE!! The bags leak and they are extremely difficult to pour! We can't even put a pump on the bag because the opening is too large. Please go back to the gallon jugs. The bags are not practical at all even if we do get more product, it's not worth it. I know so many people who are extremely frustrated the the new packaging. Please listen to your customers!!

While the majority of the analysis seems in order I have concerns about the ESC and Starch values because they are done by NIR and not wet chemistry - as was discovered when reading the sample submission form. The advertising on the Mad Barn website gave me the initial impression that the entire testing was done by wet chemistry as there is no listing of NIR in the advertising of the forage analysis product . ESC and Starch is specifically listed under a Wet Chemistry description. I have a laminitic horse and the sample came back with seemingly ’to-good-to-be-true’ values for the ESC and starch content. (Below 10%). With her health hanging in the balance I’m not confident that NIR ESC & Starch is giving me the best information to work with. I do not grow my own hay and cannot be sure of t...

Packaging horrible. Tabs on top broke and 1/2 amount of brand new oil dumped and all over my tack locker. Very disappointed and will likely not purchase product again due to this. Lots of spills and very messy with lots of waste!

Cannot get horses to eat this supplement. I do not know if something has changed or it is this particular batch. I have 10 empty containers which I save to store small bits in, we are no stranger to using Amino+ I'm not going to re order until I can deplete my current supply .. At the rate of feeding 6112 pellets mixed with feed it could take a while

Since their labeling change they also removed ingredients off the nutritional value table: It’s missing Crude protein Lysine Methionine Threonine Calcium Yeast bacteria With not knowing how much key essential ingredients I am providing my horse, I am forced to switch brands. Unfortunately this is a red flag 🚩 for consumers. It happens all the time. A key ingredient that may be costly is naked off the nutrition panel so they can reduce the amount greatly to save money as a company. To make matters worse, you’re not getting what they’re advertising. Returning the product, it wouldn’t have been nice to know they changed product quality.

Love the product, hate the packaging. The boxes are a great idea for pouring a very tiny glass of wine. They don't work so well for those of us that use the product in larger amounts to help combat allergies. I much preferred the bags that could be poured tidily into a large dispensing container. With the new box/bag, I have yet to waste less than about a cup trying to pour it into my dispenser. That is getting expensive. A choice of packaging would help. Might have to shop for an alternative product because I am tired of wasting time and money fiddling around with the terrible packaging. 5 stars for the product. O stars for the packaging.

This product has a lot of great ingredients. But none of my horses will eat it after a couple of weeks of trying. I would recommend asking for a sample before purchasing.

Was disappointed that it had additional ingredients, thought I was just purchasing 100% Biotin

Unfortunately, my horse hates the stuff which is very odd because normally she will eat anything. I sweep more of it up off the ground than she eats. So frustrating because I feel that it is beneficial for her and what she is getting seems to make a difference. However, its too expensive to use as bedding...

Hi everyone. I'm not rating this product yet due to the fact that I just received it in the mail. But, it sure sounds like a lot of people have had great results with this product. I can't wait to use it starting tomorrow 6/30/24. If the ones don't like the packaging, go get a container and put the powder in it for a cleaner experience. Really, that's such a tiny thing to give a lesser review score. Sorry, that's it for me and I have already put my spirulina powder into a container. I will come back in a month to give you all a real review on my pony's progress. Love to all
