1. Background and significance of the standard
GB/T 20715-2024 Calf Milk Replacer is an important revision that replaces the original standard GB/T 20715-2006, which mainly optimizes the technical requirements, test methods, labeling and packaging of calf milk replacer. This standard is proposed and managed by the National Feed Industry Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC76), aiming to provide a higher level of nutritional guarantee and technical support for animal husbandry.
2. Comparative analysis of standard frameworks
Project dimensions Original standard (GB/T 20715—2006) New standard (GB/T 20715—2024) Scope of application Applicable to the production and testing of calf milk replacer Extended to include the entire process of trade, inspection and certification Raw material requirements The use of non-protein nitrogen is not explicitly prohibited It is clearly stated that non-protein nitrogen substances such as urea shall not be used Nutrition indicators Crude protein ≥ 20%, fat ≥ 15% Adjusted to Crude protein 22.0~28.0%, Fat 12.0~20.0% Comparative analysis description: The new standard has optimized and adjusted the nutritional indicators, especially adding the detection requirements for key nutrients such as neutral detergent fiber, lysine and methionine, reflecting more comprehensive support for the growth and development of calves.
3. Interpretation of core technical requirements
Raw material selection standards: The new standard clearly requires dairy products and plant proteins as the main raw materials, and prohibits the use of animal-derived feed products other than milk and dairy products. At the same time, it emphasizes that non-protein nitrogen substances such as urea shall not be added to ensure the safety and nutritional value of the product.
4. Nutritional indicators and detection methods
Nutritional ingredients Indicator range Detection method Crude protein 22.0~28.0% GB/T 6432 Determination of crude protein in feeds-Kjeldahl method Fat 12.0~20.0% GB 5009.6-2016 National Food Safety Standard Determination of fat in foods Lactose ≥25.0% GB 5413.5-2010 Determination of lactose and sucrose in infant foods and dairy products Case study: A company used the GB/T 6432 method to test the crude protein content. The results showed that its products met the standard requirement of 25.0%, indicating that the company's raw material ratio is scientific and reasonable.
5. Implementation suggestions and precautions
Enterprise side:
- Strictly control the raw material procurement channels to ensure that they meet the raw material requirements of GB/T 20715.
- Establish a complete testing system and equip it with professional instruments such as Kjeldahl nitrogen analyzer, fat analyzer, etc..
- Carry out internal training regularly to improve technical personnel's understanding and application capabilities of the new standards.
Farmer side:
- Choose milk replacer products that meet national standards, and give priority to well-known brands.
- Prepare and feed according to product instructions to avoid affecting calf health due to improper operation.
- Pay attention to the shelf life and storage conditions of the product to ensure safe use.
