Because the national pet-feed standard system addresses only the dog/cat species axis, exotic companion species (rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, parrots, ornamental fish, etc.) fall **outside** any dedicated Chinese national pet-feed / feeding standard. Their nutrition is governed ad hoc (keeper practice, species-specific veterinary guidance, imported products) rather than by a Chinese GB/exotic-pet-feed standard. This is the documentary basis for the \"异宠食品/法规体系与犬猫独立\" gap noted across the EXOTIC-A/B batches. (Wildlife possession/breeding is separately governed by the 野生动物保护法 and CITES, which address *keeping/trade*, not *feeding standards*.)\n","sources":["China MOA Announcement No — China's pet-feed regulatory framework is built on a dog/cat species axis (exotic species lack a dedicated national feeding standard) (retrieved 2026-07-28)"],"source":{"authority":"China MOA Announcement No","title":"China's pet-feed regulatory framework is built on a dog/cat species axis (exotic species lack a dedicated national feeding standard)","url":"http://www.moa.gov.cn/","retrieved":"2026-07-28","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"农业农村部公告 第20号 (2018) 宠物饲料标签规定","verification_file":"pdf-raw/asia-2026/cn_petfeed_admin_notice_20.txt"},"source_document":"农业农村部公告 第20号 (2018) 宠物饲料标签规定","source_file":"pdf-raw/asia-2026/cn_petfeed_admin_notice_20.txt","tokens_estimated":240,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
