Natural liquid Stevia as sweetner for IR horse ?

Uckele also makes a flavor enhancer sweetened with stevia in a a few varieties - banana, peppermint and cinnamon I think? I used it for a while when weaning my I/R horses off grain to carry their supplements/meds.

Hi Lori, I was having trouble getting Max to take his  Metformin, I was crushing the tablets and adding them to his beet pulp but he was refusing to eat it.
I bought some fruit teas (raspberry/strawberry) no sugar or carbs, but they have stevia added.  I now soak the tablets in a small amount of water for several hours, they then mash up easily, and I put a teabag in it for 5 minutes or so, and it makes a milky metformin tea that smells like strawberries.  I now tip it onto Max’s feed and he gobbles it up, thinks it’s a huge treat!

Hi Lori. Yes- you can use Stevia-  https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/files/1%20Start%20Here/2.%20Emergency%20Diet.pdf  -- I use Peppermint flavoring from Horsetech for syringing prascend. Its called Aperti....I use a very small amount- about 3 cc's.

Could we use liquid pure stevia as a Sweetener for an IR mare ? She is hating her diet - could I sweeten her cubes or meds a bit with this ? Or is there another sweetner that is IR SAFE ? Thank you … I have a fussy mare :(
