Alfalfa meal — cross-standard identity (EU Reg 68/2013 / CN 公告1773)
Derived crosswalk of how one pet-food ingredient is named and defined across jurisdictions. No claim of regulatory equivalence is made — pairings are anchored on Latin name + process and the verdict states where the definitions actually diverge.
- Latin anchor: Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa / lucerne meal)
- Process anchor: CN 公告1773
苜蓿渣; EU Reg 68/20136.10.5 - Verdict:
equivalent
Per-jurisdiction entry
- 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6
3.1"Suncured Alfalfa Meal": AAFCO defines Suncured Alfalfa Meal (3.1) as the aerial part of the alfalfa plant, reasonably free of other plants, weeds, and mold, dried by sunlight and finely or coarsely ground. This matches alfalfa meal. Verdict = equivalent for the AAFCO axis. _(paraphrase) — AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 3.1; not verbatim)_
- 🇪🇺 EU — Reg 68/2013
6.10.5"Lucerne meal(23);[alfalfa meal](23)": Product obtained by drying and milling Lucerne. It may contain up to 20 % clover or other forage crop dried and milled at the same time as the lucerne. _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 6.10.5)_

苜蓿渣: 苜蓿干草粉用水提取苜蓿多糖等成分后获得的副产品。可经烘干、粉碎或挤压成颗粒状。 _(src: 农业部公告第1773号 饲料原料目录, entry 苜蓿渣)_ - 🇨🇳 CN — 规格指标 (公告1773

Crosswalk verdict
The CN 公告1773 entry and the matched jurisdiction entry name the same material/process and are treated as the equivalent pair for this ingredient.

- 🇷🇺 RU (ЕАЭС ТР ТС 024/2011): not retrieved — the in-force EAEU feed technical regulation exists, but its feed-material nomenclature could not be obtained as a first-hand parseable substring in this environment (adilet.zan.kz / docs.cntd.ru returned 000, eec.eaeunion.org 404 via Tokyo relay; JS-gated). Honest gap, not fabricated.
> Method: derived_from_dataset. Every quoted name/definition is from the first-hand source cited per cell. Equivalence is a derived editorial judgement anchored on Latin name + process; where jurisdictions use different regulatory units the verdict is closest_with_differences / no_confirmed_equivalent rather than 'same'.
