Abstract: Problem of the influence of genetically modified plants, including soybean, on animals and humans remains relevant and discussion throughout the world today. Therefore, our studies outlined in the article were aimed at assessing the toxico-biological effects of genetically modified soybean line MON 89788 on chicken’s organism by biochemical markers: determine the total protein and its fractions, content of the total bilirubin, the activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and cholinesterase in the plasma and liver samples, also carried the Veltman’s and thymol statements, and the amount of red blood cells, content of total hemoglobin and the prothrombin time. The experiment lasted 80 days, during which chickens from the control group received a diet free from genetically modified soybeans and chickens diet of the experimental group comprised 20 % of the transgenic soybean line MON 89788. During the studies were used, clinical, haematological, biochemical and pathological methods. The obtained data were processed by the method of variation statistics and are given as M±m. Level of statistical significance was considered significant at p≤0,05. Analysis of the results of this experiment indicate that the feeding for 80 days chickens genetically modified soybean line MON 89788 affects poultry organism, which is determined by the changes in the activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase in the blood plasma, and in liver, to reduce the level of total bilirubin and values of prothrombin time, the presence of positive reactions Veltman’s and thymol statements, and to the pathologoanatomy changes in the liver tissue.
