Abstract

The study considers a way to reduce the content of glyphosate in the gastrointestinal tract of birds using specially selected strains of bacteria as a probiotic. The widespread use of glyphosate, especially in connection with the introduction of GMO-resistant crops on the market, leads to its widespread accumulation in plant feeds, as well as in food consumed by humans. The public is becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of glyphosate, especially in the context of its chronic effects on humans through food — and their alarm is confirmed by the results of a toxicological assessment. The paper analyzes the content of glyphosate in poultry feed samples and suggests a way to reduce the effect of glyphosate on the poultry body by using industrial probiotics. Special strains of probiotics with the property of biotransformation have been studied.
