I can give you an ingredient list...it is frowned on to put it on a group bulletin board however. LOL. If you send me your email, I would gladly fill you in on the ingredient lists for our specialty feeds.
I didn't answer your question from before either. You are correct in saying that a sweet feed is not always "sweet". However, the appearance is almost always classified as a sweet feed - creatures of habit we are!
If you mix the grains with oil rather than molasses, you can get a "sweet feed" looking mix. We have diverted to calling it a "ration" rather than a sweet feed. Low glycemic would be anything with a glycemic index or starch level around 14% or lower.
We use soy oil because it is one of the easiest/most digestible (and efficient) oils for horses. Because we use such large quantities, it's not a by-product oil.
