Research Finds Genetically Modified Feed Safe for Livestock

Researchers from Arba-Minch University and Borena University in Ethiopia evaluated the effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used as livestock feed. GM crops have been widely adopted to improve traits such as yield, nutrition, and resistance to diseases and pests. The study, published in the Journal of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Health, highlighted both the benefits and ongoing concerns associated with the use of GMOs as livestock feed.

Public concerns surrounding GMO feed include possible health risks, environmental impacts, and ethical issues. Critics have raised questions about antibiotic resistance, allergic reactions, gene flow to wild plants, and biodiversity loss.

Water is one of the most important—and often overlooked—nutrients in pork production.

In this interview from World Pork Expo 2026, Tommy from Kanters Animal Health explains how advanced water monitoring and dosing systems are changing swine research and helping producers better understand water intake, supplementation, and animal performance.

The discussion also covers practical steps producers can take today to monitor water quality, identify biofilm before it becomes a problem, and improve the health and efficiency of their barns.

Topics include:

Why water is the "forgotten nutrient" in swine production

How advanced water monitoring is transforming research

The role of water quality in pig health and performance

Detecting biofilm before it impacts production
