I use molasses to make water kefir, and saw that they sell bulk molasses for animals that is way cheaper. Didn't have the nerve to pull the trigger though.
On one hand it’s probably clean and fairly free of bacteria, on the other hand it might have hair and bugs, and because animals have shorter lifetimes might not meet standards for long term health. For example we dose dogs with systemic insecticides for fleas and ticks but don’t use them in humans because over 80 years it builds up.
And build up like that is why you should limit artificial insecticides like that around your house as well. That build up happens to each animal up the food chain. Bug gets 1 insecticide, but the lizard eats a bunch of bugs. Lizard now has 100 insecticides, and gets eaten by a snake. Snake eats a dozen lizards, now we're at 1200 insecticide. Owl eats a dozen snakes, 24000 insecticide in the owl.
Obviously this is simplified, but it gets the point across.
Same reason humans aren't supposed to eat the meat of fish high up in the food chain too often, like tuna. Mercury poisoning specifically in that case.
