PCR-RFLP Identification of Prohibited Animal Derived DNA in Animal Feed

Detection of Genetically Modified Maize in Imported Animal Feed

Due to population growth in the coming years, adequate food supply is the world's biggest problem, and it seems that one way to meet this need is to produce transgenic products. Transgenic products are created using modern technology to create or enhance a desirable property, such as increasing resistance to weeds or improving nutritional properties. The advantages of transgenic products includ...

Detection of Genetically Modified Maize in Imported Animal Feed

Genetically modified crops are produced using modern biotechnology to create or increase desirable traits such as increased efficiency or resistance to unfavorable factors. In recent years, Almost 200 million hectares of world crop acreage planted with GM crops including maize, so it is possible that GM maize has been imported to Iran especially as animal feed. Therefore, 25 samples of imported...

Identification of the first Transgenic Aquatic Animal in Iran by PCR-Based Method and Protein Analysis

In the recent years, there is evidence of training a red type of zebrafish which differs from wild-type in body color. There is not any document how it reaches to the ornamental fish farms of Iran but at first, it was a doubt it belongs to a morphotype or genetic modification (GM). First of all, a set primer was designed to validate zebrafish species. Mitochondrial 16srDNA was selected and ampl...

Silage for Animal Feed

Fish processing wastes used as feed ingredient for animal feed and aquaculture feed

Fish wastes management has become a global problem from the last years. Dispose of seafood wastes cause environmental pollution. To overcome this issue these unwanted seafood products are used for the formation of animal feed and aquaculture feed. These unwanted products include small fish and those parts of fish which are not used as human food. These unwanted parts include viscera, head, fins...
