Description
Abstract:This book contains 15 chapters that discuss the use of transgenic plants as animal feeds. Topics include the limitations of transgenic plants for animal nutrition; fundamentals of plant biotechnology; nutritional, safety and compositional assessment of feeds from transgenic plants; feeding studies using transgenic plants; the fate of transgenic DNA and expressed proteins; the effect of feeds from transgenic plants on the composition and quality of animal products; feed additives from transgenic microorganisms; socioeconomics and public acceptance of transgenic plants.
