Nutrient matrix — China (GB/T 31216-2014 dog · GB/T 31217-2014 cat)
Minimum (and maximum, where given) guaranteed-analysis nutrients for complete pet food in China, compiled from the national standards GB/T 31216-2014 (complete dog food) and GB/T 31217-2014 (complete cat food). Values are on a dry-matter basis (% DM) as labelled in the source. Every numeric cell is a verbatim quote of the standard (via the USDA GAIN report CH2022-0063 English translation). Cells not specified by the standard are honest gaps, not interpolated.
> Method: derived_from_dataset. Source of truth: USDA GAIN CH2022-0063 (public > domain), the English translation of GB/T 31216-2014 and GB/T 31217-2014. Note > the cat taurine requirement is split by moisture form: ≥0.1 % (dry food) > and ≥0.2 % (wet food).
