Özet

Genetically modified (GM) crops are being planted at large scale worldwide. In most of thecountries, GM crops are processed into livestock feed. The land is used for cultivation of GM plantshas been increased in recent years; in 2012 GM plants were grown on over 170 million hectares in28 countries by 17.3 million farmers and extended to 185.1 million hectors in 2016 worldwide. GMplants have been used as feed for animals and the number of studies has proved their safety foranimal and public health. This paper reviews the possible effects of GM crops on livestock, poultry,and aquatic animals by reviewing different type of studies, in which parameters such as performance,reproductive and health assessment were investigated. The most of peer-reviewed papers evaluatingthe effects of feeding animals with transgenic crops were based on GM plants with improvedagronomic traits i.e. herbicide-tolerant plants and pets-tolerant plants; however, in some cases GMplants with boosted nutritional properties assessed. In most experiments, either Bt (Bacillusthuringiensis) maize, Roundup Ready (RR) soybean or both fed to animals. Measurable differencesin various parameters were mostly observed in Bt maize and soybean fed separately orsimultaneously to animals. In this review, scientific studies showing the effects of the use of GMproducts in the nutrition of domestic animals on performance, health and reproductive parametersare investigated.
