One caution from the source: `Levels reflect minimum recommended amounts including a safety margin; they are not minimum requirements.` Bottom line — these are recommended floors with buffer built in, not bare survival numbers.\n\n**中文 — 给养猫主人。** FEDIAF 是欧洲宠物食品营养标准：`FEDIAF (European Pet Food) publishes nutrient-based trade guidelines for complete pet foods.` 其 2025 年 `TABLE III-4a.` 表列出成年猫全价粮应含的营养，数值以每 100 g 干物质计（`The values are expressed per 100 g dry matter (DM).`）。成年猫关键最低推荐值：蛋白质 `33.30` g、脂肪 `9.00` g；牛磺酸（猫自身合成不足）罐头粮 `0.27` g、干粮 `0.13` g。注意源文件提醒：`Levels reflect minimum recommended amounts including a safety margin; they are not minimum requirements.` 结论——这些是含安全余量的推荐下限，不是勉强够活的底线。\n\nSource topic: `fediaf_historical_2025_cat_adult_maintenance` (C1-verified against FEDIAF 2025 guidelines text).\n\n## Claims (verified as substrings of the C1-verified source topic)\n- `FEDIAF (European Pet Food) publishes nutrient-based trade guidelines for complete pet foods.`\n- `TABLE III-4a.`\n- `The values are expressed per 100 g dry matter (DM).`\n- `Protein*                         g        33.30                      25.00             28.00/30.00   -`\n- `Fat*                             g         9.00                      9.00                 9.00`\n- `Taurine (canned pet food)*       g         0.27                       0.20                0.25`\n- `Taurine (dry pet food)*          g         0.13                       0.10                0.10`\n- `Levels reflect minimum recommended amounts including a safety margin; they are not minimum requirements.`\n","sources":["Derived plain-language — FEDIAF 2025 cat adult maintenance — plain-language owner summary (retrieved 2026-08-16)"],"source":{"authority":"Derived plain-language","title":"FEDIAF 2025 cat adult maintenance — plain-language owner summary","url":"","retrieved":"2026-08-16","ref":"","doc_type":"official source","source_document":"FEDIAF 2025 cat adult maintenance — plain-language owner summary","verification_file":"web/topics/fediaf-historical/fediaf_historical_2025_cat_adult_maintenance/01_fediaf_historical_2025_cat_adult_maintenance.md"},"source_document":"FEDIAF 2025 cat adult maintenance — plain-language owner summary","source_file":"web/topics/fediaf-historical/fediaf_historical_2025_cat_adult_maintenance/01_fediaf_historical_2025_cat_adult_maintenance.md","trust":{"authority_tier":"ungraded","fidelity":"verbatim","license":"derived","display_grade":"pending"},"tokens_estimated":400,"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."}
