Chapter 17 GMO in animal nutrition: potential benefits and risks

摘要: Publisher Summary The chapter presents a study on the potential benefits and risks of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in animal nutrition. As there are only small compositional differences between “substantially equivalent” (GM) non-GM crops, these have little biological significance. Most GM parental line crops fall short definition “substantial equivalence,” which is concept that has outlived its previously claimed usefulness. Thus, novel concepts methods to probe into safety gene splicing needed. critical examination published studies light newly suggested testing protocol, established from effects ingredients physiology, pathohistology, immunology bacterial flora gastrointestinal tract young animals metabolic consequences effects. In genetic modification intended incorporated genome crop, using vector containing several other genes, including as minimum: viral promoters, transcription terminators, antibiotic resistance or marker genes reporter genes. importance analysis such unintended foods however, recently been recognized by them Codex Alimentarius guidelines.
