Most horses don't get goofy on beetpulp, so I still like the complete feeds 
based on BP.  The molasses content itself will vary pretty widely.  Karen 
Chaton has some info on molasses content, I'm not on my regular computer, so 
don't have it handy.  If memory serves, Purina Complete Advantage is fairly 
low, but don't hold me to it.:-)

Yes, shredded bp is less likely to contain added molasses, because a lot of 
manufacturers will add it to help hold pellets together.  The smaller the 
pellet, the more likely it is to contain molasses.  As for how to tell---read 
the feed tag.  if it contains added molasses, it'll say so.
