NOCR

NOCR is an all-natural respiratory and performance supplement designed to support healthy lung function, immune health, and antioxidant defenses in horses. Its herbal blend helps maintain normal breathing, oxygen use, stamina, and resilience during training, competition, or exposure to environmental challenges. NOCR also contains ingredients that support post-exercise care and adaptation to training.

NOCR is ideal for performance horses needing additional respiratory support, horses in heavy training or competition, and those exposed to dust, pollen, or seasonal airway irritants. Senior horses, or horses experiencing high oxidative stress due to workload or environment, may also benefit from its antioxidant-rich formulation.

Some horses may show changes in breathing comfort, stamina, or post-exercise recovery within a few weeks. In other cases, consistent daily feeding for 4–8 weeks may be needed to fully support respiratory health, circulation, and overall antioxidant status. NOCR can be fed long term to support ongoing training or environmental demands.

The typical feeding rate for NOCR is 1 scoop (25 grams) per day for a 500 kg (1100 lb) horse. Serving sizes for other horses are provided on the product label and should be adjusted according to body weight. This supplement is generally fed once daily, or divided into two meals. Consult a veterinarian or nutritionist for personalized recommendations, especially for performance horses with higher antioxidant and recovery needs. For best results, NOCR should be fed as part of a balanced dietthat meets your horse’s vitamin and mineral requirements.

Yes. NOCR is designed to be fed alongside a comprehensive vitamin and mineral supplement such as Omneity or AminoTrace+. While Omneity and AminoTrace+ ensure your horse’s nutritional requirements are met, NOCR provides targeted herbal and antioxidant support for respiratory health and athletic performance.

If your horse is seeing positive results on Spirulina and Jiaogulan alone and does not require additional support, you can continue with your current program. NOCR was developed as a more comprehensive option for horses that need advanced respiratory and performance support, particularly those in consistent training or competition. Performance horses experience higher oxidative stress and circulatory demands, and often benefit from additional nutritional support to help maintain stamina, oxygen delivery, and normal adaptation to exercise. NOCR includes Spirulina and Jiaogulan, along with Tienchi (Panax notoginseng) and other complementary compounds, to provide broader support for circulation, antioxidant balance, and post-exercise care. For many owners, it also offers a practical way to consolidate multiple supplements into one formula while improving support for horses under heavier workloads or with greater respiratory needs.

NOCR combines potent, research-backed ingredients at effective doses to support both respiratory function and post-exercise recovery. One of the novel components in NOCR is Tienchi (Panax notoginseng), a traditional her used to support circulation and vitality. Its ginsenosides and flavonoids provide natural antioxidant activity, helping neutralize free radicals generated during intense training and supporting vascular tissues and oxygen delivery. NOCR also includes Spirulina, Jiaogulan, and other complementary herbs, resulting in a synergistic formula that supports healthy lung function, circulation, stamina, and immune balance. Unlike lower-dose or single-ingredient products, NOCR was formulated for performance horses and has been tested with veterinarians and elite equine athletes prior to launch to ensure safety, palatability, and effectiveness in demanding conditions.

Yes. Each container of NOCR includes a scoop for convenient feeding. One scoop holds approximately 25 grams of powder. We recommend using a gram scale to measure the powder for accurate dosing.

NOCR is provided in powdered form so that it mixes easily into your horse’s daily ration.

NOCR can be top-dressed on feed or mixed into soaked forage pellets, beet pulp, or grains. It can be fed dry or soaked, once daily or divided between meals depending on your horse’s routine. Feeding directions and recommended serving sizes are provided on the product label, and adjustments can be made based on body weight and workload.

Yes. NOCR is safe to feed long term as part of a balanced diet. It is commonly used continuously in performance horses to help support post-exercise care, immune health, and respiratory function during ongoing training and competition.

Most horses readily accept NOCR when it is mixed into their regular feed. For picky eaters, it can be blended with soaked forage pellets, beet pulp, or natural flavors such as peppermint or fenugreek to improve acceptance. Mad Barn also offers a 100% Happiness Guarantee on all products. If your horse won’t eat the product, we will provide a refund or store credit.

Yes. NOCR does not contain any prohibited substances based on FEI regulations and is competition-legal across disciplines. As rules can change, always verify with your sport’s governing body before competition.

NOCR has a guaranteed shelf life of one year from the date of manufacture. Store sealed in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and potency.

We do not recommend this supplement for pregnant or lactating mares. While the herbal ingredients in NOCR are generally well tolerated by horses, they have not been tested for safety in broodmares, it should not be fed to pregnant or lactating mares unless specifically recommended by a veterinarian.

Yes. NOCR is safe for horses with insulin resistance (IR), PPID, or EMS. According to Dr. Eleanor Kellon of the ECIR (Equine Cushing’s and Insulin Resistance) group, the very small amount of dextrose included in NOCR is not a concern for IR horses. Apple pomace is also low in sugar because it is the fibrous material that remains after juice has been extracted, making it much lower in non-structural carbohydrates than whole apples. If you are already feeding Spirulina and Jiaogulan separately, NOCR can replace those supplements with a more comprehensive blend that also provides additional antioxidants and circulatory support.

Because NOCR contains potent herbal ingredients such as ginseng, it is important to check with your veterinarian before combining it with prescription medications. Some herbs can influence how drugs are metabolized in the liver, so veterinary guidance ensures safe use alongside prescribed treatments.
