Who's Afraid of GM Feeds?
Preface

This module is intended to provide information on the regulation of livestock feeds containing products derived from genetically modified (GM) crops in Canada and the United States, and on the studies that have been carried out to assess the safety of these novel feeds. The topics covered in this module include:
  • the regulatory and safety assessment process;

  • the nature of GM crops currently used as livestock feed components;

  • the safety of new protein introduced into GM crops;

  • comparing the nutritional composition and efficacy of novel and conventional livestock feeds;

  • the metabolic fate of ingested protein and DNA, including the fate of novel proteins and DNA introduced through genetic engineering techniques;
