Abstract: Possible transfer of DNA fragments from genetically modified Roundup Ready soybean, containing transgene for tolerance against herbicides with glyphosate, from fodder into blood of broilers ROSS 308 was studied. Three feeding experiments were performed. Totally, 118 blood samples were analyzed. Detection of DNA fragments was divided into two parts. First, we were looking for DNA fragments of control gene – lectin. The other part was focus on detection of transgene fragments in blood samples. Positive results (it means presence of DNA fragment) were reported in 18 samples. Seven samples were positive for control gene. Transgene fragments were identified in 11 samples. These results demonstrated possible transfer of DNA fragments from fodder into blood of broilers.
