Effects of feeding Bt MON810 maize to nulliparous sows during gestation and lactation on offspring haematological parameters at birth1.

1Sows were fed either a non-Bt control or a Bt maize-based diet and blood samples were collected at birth from the 4th live born piglet from each litter (n = 12/treatment).2Value of lambda used for Box Cox transformation of data to ensure normal distribution. Means and 95% confidence limits for data which were normalised using the Box Cox transformation were back transformed and are presented on the original scale.395% CI –95% confidence interval (the interval that contains the true population mean in 95% of cases).4WBC – white blood cells.
