The same way Total Cereal puts all the daily vitamin requirements in one bowl of ceareal.
You put all the ingredients in a huge vat, you mix it up, you put it through the extruder (that makes the shape of the kibble) and then you bake it.
Vitamins and minerals are added as powdered or liquid ingredients in certain amounts depending on the food.
Just like a cake mix. Flour, sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs, are in there and get all mixed up.

Minimum requirments...isnt it better to feed regular requirments? wouldnt higher amount of requirments be better for a puppy than minimum requirments?

All food, dog food, people food, cat food, human baby food are forumlated for the minimum daily requirements needed for whoever it's being made for.
For an all life stages food to be suitable for all life stages it has to be good for the one needing the most nutrition, which would be a growing puppy. So it's forumulated for the minimum daily requirements needed for a growing puppy.
So you are feeding the "regular" requirements. In fact most foods exceed the minimum. But they have to at least have the minimum daily requirements.
