Animal nutrition with transgenic plants [

Transgenic plants are cultivated on a large scale worldwide, and most of the harvested products are fed to domestic animals. By gathering together more than 150 feeding studies with food-producing animals, and covering both first and second generation tansgenic plants, this book provides the first c...
