Abstract: A 42-day feeding trial was employed to evaluate whether the transgenic brown rice used in broiler′ s diet had any deleterious effects on gowth performance,on organ index,on carcass trait,on composition of muscle of broiler chicken.Three hunder sixty one-day old broilers were divided into three groups.One group was fed a diet containing transgenic brown rice and the other group was fed a diet containing corresponding nontransgenic brown rice.Three group was fed a diet containing corn.Growth Performance and organ index at the 21 and 42 day of age were determined,carcass trait and composition of muscle were measured at the end of the experiment.The results showed that no significant difference were observed(P 0.05)in the growth performance,in organ index and carcass trait and composition of muscle in two phases between the two groups.No histopathological damages were detected.From this study,it was concluded that there were no adverse effects of the transgenic brown rice on the broiler chicken′ s health.

Key words: Transgenic rice, Gowth performance, Broiler chicken
