MON87701 Soy Type Determination and Quantity Analysis

The genetically modified MON87701 soybean strain designed by Monsanto is a herbicide-tolerant soybean strain. In detailed laboratory analyzes performed for this soybean strain, it was determined that the nutrient composition had similar nutritional equivalence to conventional soybean strains. The protein transferred to the genetically modified soybean strain MON87701 is a protein that breaks down in digestive juices and is denatured in heat treatments. There was no significant difference in yield and carcass parameters between MON87701 soybean strains and conventional soybean types. At the same time, no significant difference was observed in terms of morphological and agronomic characteristics.

It has been determined that recombinant DNA from the genetically modified MON87701 soybean strain allowed to be used as feed poses an environmental risk for horizontal transfer to bacteria and other microorganisms and gene transfer from plant to plant.

MON87701 soybean type is among the genetically modified products approved for feed use by the Biosafety Board in our country. The Biosafety Board has decided that the use of MON87701 soybean strains and products for feed purposes will not have a higher possible impact on human, animal and environmental health than with non-genetically modified strains.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, MON87701 soybean type determination and quantity analysis services are also available.
