Though there is not enough information on effects of Genetically Engineered Foods to animals, various studies conducted have found GM food to have enormous impacts on animals.
An independent study conducted by the Deccan Development Society in India revealed symptoms of reduced food intake, swollen lips, frothy salivation, nasal discharge, bulging of head and deaths within 25 to 30 days of continuous Bt Cotton fodder consumption. In carrying out Post mortems, the study found undigested food in the rumen, showed holes in lungs and change in colour of internal organs.
According to Jeffrey M Smith, renowned author of three bestsellers on health risks of genetically engineered food, “what is most dangerous is that there is undigested food in the rumen indicating that perhaps rumen bacteria are being killed by the Bt toxin. The Bt toxin, dangerous in itself, becomes 1000 times more toxic during the genetic engineering process!”
Similarly in the state of Haryana a study revealed that buffaloes suffered prolapsed uterus, premature deliveries, abortions, reduction in milk output and fat content, change in taste of milk, and sudden deaths after being fed Bt Cotton fodder and oil seed cakes for a regular period.
