MadBarn Visercal+

Mad Barn’s Visceral+ is a comprehensive nutritional supplement for horses with Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) and other forms of digestive upsets.

Visceral+ is formulated with the highest quality probiotic ingredients, earth-grown nutrients, minerals and amino acids that your horse needs to naturally support the body’s own healing mechanisms and maintain the integrity of the stomach and intestinal lining.

Visceral+ was developed in conjunction with veterinarians tired of treating ulcers with GastroGard (omeprazole) or UlcerGard only to have horses relapse post-treatment. Visceral+ is clinically studied in horses to help maintain healthy stomach tissue.

Visceral+ provides complete nutritional support for your horse’s digestive system from stomach to colon. Unlike other products given to horses with ulcers, Visceral+ will not inhibit the natural production of stomach acid.

WHY USE VISCERAL+?

Incidence of gastric ulceration has been reported to exceed 95% in performance horses and a large proportion of pleasure horses have been found to have gastric ulcers.

Essentially any horse that undergoes stall confinement, has inconsistent access to feed, is fed grain, or is trailered is at risk of developing ulcers.

Visceral+ works in four key ways to maintain balance in the digestive system:

• Supports Natural Healing Processes
  • A scientifically formulated combination of ingredients that works with your horse’s natural biology to maintain a healthy intestinal lining.
• Nutritional Building Blocks
  • Visceral+ is a nutraceutical formula that contains natural ingredients that nourish your horse’s microbiome and stomach tissue.
• Complete Protection
  • It is important to take care of gastric ulcers, but the stomach represents only 8% of the total digestive system. That leaves a lot of other area for something to go wrong. Visceral+ contains ingredients that support your horse’s complete gastrointestinal tract from stomach to colon.
• Supports the Immune System
  • Upwards of 70% of the immune system is driven by the gut and Visceral+ helps support immune function to reduce pathogen load which can contribute to ulcers.

DON’T FIGHT BIOLOGY

Go with the proven solution that works with the animal’s natural biology. Visceral+ works by:

• Supporting the natural barrier that protects stomach tissue
• Supporting normal mucin production, which functions as a defensive layer within the gastrointestinal tract
• Supporting digestive comfort to maintain a calm horse
• Nourishing the microbiome by providing probiotic and prebiotic ingredients
• Supporting normal defenses against pathogens by helping to maintain immune health

VISCERAL+ IS CLINICALLY STUDIED

The clinical study for Visceral+ was carried out by Halton Equine Veterinary Services. The initial premise of the trial was to examine the effects of Visceral+ in horses with gastric ulcers.

Horses brought to the clinic to be scoped for gastric ulcers were enrolled in the study, with the owners consent, if they presented with obvious ulcers or hyperkeratosis. The horses were treated with GastroGard for 15–30 days. Visceral+ was added to the treatment one to two weeks prior to cessation of the GastroGard treatment and for another 30 days without GastroGard. All horses were re-scoped at the end of 60 days. All horses showed improvement to complete healing at the end of 60 days.

Visceral+ was developed as a pelleted supplement that is safe to give horses with gastric ulcers. It works with the body to naturally support stomach and hindgut health, maintaining normal immune defenses against ulcers and other forms of digestive upsets.
