EN — What is GB/T 31216-2014? China's voluntary national standard for industrially produced complete dog food (excluding prescription diets). 2014.09.03 Posted 2015.03.08 Implemented. It sets minima (or maxima) for nutrients on a dry-matter basis, by life stage (juvenile / pregnant / lactating dog food vs adult dog food).

Key physical & chemical indicators (dry-matter basis):

  • Crude protein ≥22.0 ≥18.0 (juvenile/pregnant/lactating vs adult)
  • Crude fat ≥8.0 ≥5.0
  • Calcium ≥1.0 ≥0.6
  • Total phosphorus ≥ 0.8 ≥0.5
  • Water-soluble chloride (as Cl⁻): ≥0.45% (juvenile/pregnant/lactating) / ≥0.09% (adult)
  • Lysine ≥0.77 ≥0.63

Moisture classes: dry <14.0%, semi-moist 14.0–60.0%, wet ≥60.0%. Hygiene (88% dry-matter basis): fluorine ≤150 mg/kg, cadmium ≤2 mg/kg, lead ≤5 mg/kg, total arsenic ≤10 mg/kg (or ≤2 mg/kg), aflatoxin B₁ ≤10 µg/kg, total bacteria <1×10⁴ CFU/g, Salmonella not found in 25 g. Note: calcium and phosphorus carry minima only — no upper limits are set.

主要理化指标(干物质基础):Crude protein ≥22.0 ≥18.0Crude fat ≥8.0 ≥5.0Calcium ≥1.0 ≥0.6Total phosphorus ≥ 0.8 ≥0.5、水溶性氯(以 Cl⁻计)≥0.45%/≥0.09%、Lysine ≥0.77 ≥0.63。水分分类:干性 <14.0%、半湿 14.0–60.0%、湿性 ≥60.0%。卫生指标(按 88% 干物质):氟 ≤150 mg/kg、锰 ≤2 mg/kg、铅 ≤5 mg/kg、总神 ≤10 mg/kg、黄曲霉毒素 B₁ ≤10 µg/kg。钙、磷仅有下限、无上限。
