Abstract
Genetically modified organisms -- plants and animals whose genes have been altered by scientists – aren’t just thought over, they are fought over. Scientists create today's genetic changes, or modifications. They alter the DNA of seeds with radiation or chemicals, and then choose which resulting plants to breed. Or they can snip a gene (or several) from a plant, virus, or bacteria and plug it into another to transfer a desired feature. GMOs often make news related to the environment, world hunger, the economy, politics, and yes, even health. GM crops are promising to mitigate current and future problems in commercial agriculture with proven case in the development and approval of the Pod Borer Resistant Cowpea (popularly called Beans) in Nigeria. With the rise in production of broiler for human consumption it is essential to study the necessary attribute of feeding broilers with genetically modified crop. The main objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of genetically modified crop, its benefit and challenges.
