Abstract The effects of short- and long-term feeding of genetically modified Bt MON810 maize on porcine growth performance and health were investigated in two studies. Bt maize expresses the Cry1Ab toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis which confers insect resistance. Fate of the cry1Ab transgene and Cry1Ab protein were also investigated. Short-term (31 days) feeding of Bt maize to weanling pigs resulted in higher feed intake but overall weight gain and feed conversion efficiency were unaffected. Organ function, as measured by blood biochemistry, organ weight and histology, was unaffected in the Bt group. Minor changes were observed in immune cell population distribution but these were not associated with local or systemic inflammation and ther...
