How much sugar in readi-grass compared to good -doer

[teasle]

My friend has been advised to feed her horse on readi-grass instead of good doer as good doer contains mollasses and readi-grass does not. I was surprised as I thought that readi- grass would contain sugar from the grass, even if no added molasses .On the analysis on the readi- grass bag it is not clear how much sugar it cobtains- does anyone know.

I can't find a breakdown for Readygrass, the nearest I can find are a couple of brands of grass pellets, both of which have sugar levels of about 12% e.g.
