GB 13078-2017 — Feed Hygiene Standard (饲料卫生标准)
Status: Mandatory national standard (强标), currently in force (现行). Promulgated: 2017-10-14. Implemented: 2018-05-01.
GB 13078-2017 is the Chinese mandatory *Feed Hygiene Standard* (饲料卫生标准). It sets maximum limits for contaminants, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and pathogens in feedstuffs, including pet food. It is the hygiene-tier national standard referenced throughout China's pet-food regulatory framework (MOA Announcement No. 20 / 宠物饲料管理办法).
The 2017 edition superseded the earlier GB 13078-2001 and the split parts GB 13078.1-2006, GB 13078.2-2006, and GB 13078.3-2007 (all now abolished / 废止).
Honest gap: The full-text clauses (specific maximum-limit values) were not extractable — the official portal renders standard text via JavaScript and the full PDF is not retrievable by direct fetch. Only the catalog-level facts above (title, mandatory status, in-force status, promulgation/implementation dates) are C1-verified against the portal search snapshot landed at the source path. Clause-level limit values remain pending extraction.
