Main physical and chemical indicators (Table 2, dry matter basis, juvenile/pregnant/lactating vs adult): crude protein ≥22.0% / ≥18.0%; crude fat ≥8.0% / ≥5.0%; crude ash ≤10.0% / ≤10.0%; crude fiber ≤9.0% / ≤9.0%; calcium ≥1.0% / ≥0.6%; total phosphorus ≥0.8% / ≥0.5%; water-soluble chloride (as Cl⁻) ≥0.45% / ≥0.09%; lysine ≥0.77% / ≥0.63%. The standard sets minima (or maxima) only — no upper limits are given for calcium or phosphorus. Moisture classification (Table 3): dry <14.0%, semi-moist 14.0–60.0%, wet ≥60.0%. Hygiene indicators (Table 4, calculated at 88% dry matter): fluorine ≤150 mg/kg, cadmium ≤2 mg/kg, mercury ≤0.3 mg/kg, lead ≤5 mg/kg, total arsenic ≤10 mg/kg for products with aquatic animals/algae (≤2 mg/kg otherwise, inorganic arsenic ≤2 mg/kg), aflatoxin B₁ ≤10 µg/kg, total bacteria <1×10⁴ CFU/g (except wet food), Salmonella not found in 25 g, and commercial sterility for wet food (GB 4789.26).
