Abstract:
Ukraine is the second among the European soybean producers, being also one of the world’s top ten producers. Distribution of varieties of genetically modified soybean, resistant to Roundup, increases its ability of getting it to feed. World scientists have not yet come up with an unambiguous answer to the question of the safety of transgenic crops. Therefore, the study of the long-term effects of genetically modified plants on animal organism and search for ways to reduce deviations caused by the action of their components is actuales. In the article described results researches of influence transgenic soybeans in ration with content 35 % protein on postnatal development of the fourth generation rats under the influence of nanoargentum particles. Counted up the amount of living and dead rats, determined the average size of new-born, by sight fixed general physical state, shortchanged survivability, measured body mass of the rat in two months. Investigated comparison of postnatal posterity development in control and experimental groups did not find out meaningful differences. The probed indexes were within the limits of physiology norms, characteristic for rats. At the same time, the tendency recorded during the studies of survival of animals of the previous three generations has been maintained, to a decrease in the number rats of age 6-30 days in the group receiving transgenic soy. The use of drinking water with Argentum nanoparticles at a concentration of 0.025 μg/ml positively affects the number of newborn rats and reduces their mortality in a group of animals that for three generations received transgenic soy as part of the diet. In animals of experimental groups, whose diet includes heat-treated soy, there is an active in weight gain by 13-18 % compared with the control group of animals.
