AUSTRALIA-Australian Study Finds Transgenic Stockfeed Use Increases

The use of genetically modified ingredients in stockfeed likely will continue to increase, but there is little evidence consumers - who generally have low awareness of the use of GM products – are worried by this, according to an official Australian study issued Thursday. In Australia, domestically sourced GM cottonseed meal and imported GM soybeans and canola make up a minor but growing proportion of the ingredients used in some stockfeed mixes, according to the study entitled "GM Stockfeed in Australia; Economic Issues for Producers and Consumers" prepared by the government’s Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
