NEGATIVE EFFECT OF LONG-TERM FEEDING ON CHICKEN AND EGG-LAYING HENS OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ROUNDRESISTANT SOYBEAN ON THE WITHDRAWAL OF CHICKENS AND THEIR VIABILITY

Abstract

This work was conducted to monitor the presence of Roundup Ready (RR) soybean in the organism chicken and egg-laying hens. The promotion of a high level of food safety is a major policy priority worldwide. The innocuousness of foodstuffs is a concept inherent in food safety and is related to many aspects of agrarian technologies as well as to food production and processing. Due to great advances in agricultural biotechnology, scientists are able to use artificial genetic manipulations to successfully transfer genes for herbicide tolerance and insect resistance into traditional crops or other advances. Many genetically modified (GM) plant cultivars have been registered worldwide. The most cultivated of genetically modified (GM) is the Roundup Ready soybean, which represents the staple constituents of many foods. Feeding from 2 months of age to chickens, and then egg-laying hens of GMO round-resistant soybeans, had a negative effect on the withdrawal of chickens after incubation of eggs, which was 47.7 %, and the viability of these chickens was 27 %. The low fertility of eggs from the egg-laying hens, which fed the GM round-resistant soy, and the very low viability of offspring, convincingly represent the danger of using such soya in foods for children and young people. The data on the content of phytoestrogens in GM soybeans is a tremendous indication that chickens have received them in sufficient quantities for 2 months, but is flavones could not be the cause of the incidence of chickens. In our opinion, the low viability of chickens is a consequence of the presence in GM soybeans of unnatural protein peptides. Thus, we have established a lower 30 % content of aromatic amino acids in GM soybeans compared to controls, which indicates that there are unnatural peptides in it, obviously, compounds of glyphosate with tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine. The intensity of metabolic processes in the bird organism is much higher than that of other animals, and therefore the natural or specific peptides, namely the molecule of glycine with the methylphosphonyl group and the aromatic amino acid, can be absorbed in the intestine and replace the natural glycine in the process of protein synthesis with unknown consequences. The question arises: why in 2 months the chickens began to die? Perhaps during this period there is accumulation of nonspecific proteins to the critical concentration in the body of chickens, which are quite sensitive to the manifestation of such action. After all, GM soy was fed to many laboratory and agricultural animals, but there was no high level of their consumption. Undeniably, studies on chickens have convincingly shown the negative effects of a high level of transgenic soy on reproduction and viability, which is a confirmation of the danger of the use of such soya in foods for children and young people.
