Corn is widely acknowledged as the primary energy source in commercial animal diets worldwide, primarily due to its consistent and high nutritional value for livestock.However, concerns arise regarding the potential effects of various factors such as genetics, agronomic conditions, composition, and processing on nutrient variability.Agricultural biotechnology has paved the way for developing new crop varieties with improved characteristics, including resistance to pests, tolerance to herbicides, and enhanced quality traits.This study aimed to assess the performance, carcass yield, characteristics, and health parameters of pigs fed with corn hybrids.The review findings indicate no significant differences observed in these parameters between pigs fed with genetically modified (GM) or non-GM corn, as reported in various studies.In conclusion, the research suggests that the specific type of corn utilized in pig diets does not significantly affect pig health or performance, including growth and feed efficiency.Therefore, it assures that incorporating genetically modified maize into pig diets does not lead to noticeable clinical symptoms.
