Maybe I'm blind but I can't find it, what is the title? I did a search and not much came up. |

Location: OK | I just started my 3 running horses on it about a month ago. I have one that has ulcers and it has really helped her. She has always been spooky, but seems to have leveled her out. My mare with ulcers is running a 1/2 second faster.
I have another mare that gets really hot at the gate and will balk sometimes and she has not had any issues, and seems calmer.
I have a Paint mare that can be generally "moody" and cranky, and she has seemed to mellow some also.
The feed itself, is a very clean looking feed, you can see the ingredients instead of just wondering whats in it.
I am very pleased so far with how they are acting and how they are looking.

| I liked it at first. But the feed was inconsistent . My bags had too much corn. Was told it depended on the batch. The company was nice and stood behind the feed and took it back and refunded my money. I have since decided to feed oats and add alfalfa pellets and flax. I add Vitalize High Performance . Add good hay . |

| Didn't I read on here that it made your horse sick? That's concerning. I was contemplating using this feed, but have since decided to go another route. I'm glad the company refunded your money though. |

Yes it is. The last bag I opened it had way too much corn. I also feed a supplement and selenium was a concern. The company only list the minimum not the max. My horse quit eating it. I did look into the omnis cubes, but didn't go that route due to the high protein. |

Yes she went off the feed. I think it may have been the corn, because the last bag had way too much. But the company did take it back and refund the money. |

Ummm, Omnis are 14% protein. Kool Speed is what, 13%? Not bashing, its cool if you don't like Omnis, just didn't want people misinformed about a great product. |

Location: Willows, CA | This was the point that I made about the vague ingredients list on Kool Speed and questioning a fixed formulation claim. Having them tell you that it depends on the batch is clearly not a fixed formulation. Vague ingredients listed are never a fixed formulation. |

He may have been referring to the Mustang Sally cubes, I don't know because I only carry the Omnis. |

Location: Oklahoma | I feed it and have never had a problem with it, I have never had an issue with to much corn. My horses look great and I can get it at a good price as they mill is about 20 min's from my house. |

Location: West Texas | Feeds list minimum protein. This is required by law. Actual protein will always be higher (on all feeds) because you do not want a feed test coming under the labeled amounts. The protein quoted you was actual dry matter protein, which ussually runs 15-16%. On occasion it "could" test up to 17% and would mostly be a testament to the quality of alfalfa that is used (Omnis being 82.5% premium alfalfa and we do not blend bales). As fed protein runs around 14-15% with a moisture content of about 8%. I hope this clears up a few things and gives you a better understanding of feed tags and Omnis, in particular.
What matters in the diet is never feed percentages but total % in the entire ration. Even then protein can be high quality or low quality and protein itself is hardly ever an issue for equines. I would like to point out that good, new growth grass pasture can run 30+ % protein.

So how do you feed it with grain? Are the Mustang Sally ones different than the Omnis? I asked about the complete performance and was told 17% |

The omnis complete is a great feed.. once I get my barn built out here, I'm going back to it.. unfortunately, it just doesn't work for me right now and my pasture situation. My horses did extremely well on it. I didn't feed any hay while they were on it. I just added 1lb of my grain a day. |
