Offspring from Bt maize-fed
sows also had greater duodenal crypt depths (P < 0.05)
and lower villus height/crypt depth ratios (P < 0.05).
No pathology was observed in the organs, and serum
biochemistry values generally remained within normal
limits and no overall differences were observed, with
the exception of overall γ glutamyltransferase, which
was less for pigs on the Bt/Bt treatment than pigs on the
iso/Bt and Bt/iso treatments. These results indicate that
transgenerational consumption of Bt maize diets is not
detrimental to pig growth and health.
