Nutrient matrix — South Korea (NIAS 2024) dog & cat

Minimum (and maximum, where given) recommended nutrient content for complete pet food in South Korea, from the NIAS Pet Food Nutrient Standard (2024) (Tables 2-17a·b dog, 2-17e·f cat). Values are per 100 g dry matter (DM), NIAS min/max. Every value is a verbatim quote of the in-repo C1 topics nias_nutrient_002 / nias_nutrient_003 (themselves C1-verified against the NIAS 2024 PDF). Cells not in the source are honest gaps, not interpolated.
