Supplementation of diet of the females with GM soya led to the death of 25 pups, out of the 45 born by the end of the third week of lactation
Only 3 pups born to the females on the traditional soya supplemented diets died from 33
The mortality in the positive control group was also 3,but from the larger number of pups born, as seen in Table 1
High pup mortality was generally characteristic of every litter from the females fed with the GM soya flour(Table 2)
Among the pups from the females fed with the positive control, 2 pups died during the first week, and 1during the second week after delivery
All those pups that died from the females fed with traditional soya flour did so during the first week after birth
Rats pups from the females fed with the GM soya flour supplemented diet kept dying during lactation period as it is evident from Table 3
