Testing the Safety of Genetically Modified Products (GMP) in Animal Diets

Smithers Viscient Carolina Research Center conducts standardized feeding studies with chickens and catfish in which the general health and growth of the test animals fed diets containing GM products is compared to that of test animals fed diets containing non GM products. For GMP chicken studies Smithers Viscient will manage all aspects of the diet formulations, manufacturing, sampling and nutritional analyses. For the GMP catfish studies, Smithers Viscient will manufacture the diets in-house and manage all sampling and nutritional analyses
