   • Low Residual Fat: 6.6% (dry basis, GB/T 6433-2006) – suitable for lean-formula applications.

2. Exceptional Safety Profile

   • Heavy Metals Undetectable:

     • Lead: Not Detected (<2 mg/kg, GB/T 13080-2018)

     • Cadmium: Not Detected (<0.20 mg/kg, GB/T 13082-2021)

     • Mercury: Not Detected (<0.00015 mg/kg, GB/T 13081-2006)

   • Low Contaminants:

     • Arsenic: 0.15 mg/kg (GB/T 13079-2006)

     • Chromium: 0.76 mg/kg (GB/T 13088-2006)

   • Microbial Safety:

     • Bacterial Count: 5,000 CFU/g (GB/T 13093-2006)

     • Molds: 350 CFU/g (GB/T 13092-2006) – well below feed safety thresholds.

3. Functional Properties

   • High Solubility: 53.5 g/100g (GB 5413.29-2010) – enhances digestibility and mixability in feed formulations.

   • Balanced Minerals:

     • Phosphorus: 0.90% (GB/T 6437-2018) – supports metabolic functions.

     • Selenium: 0.25 mg/kg (GB/T 13883-2008) – vital antioxidant.

4. Optimal Physical Quality
