Assessment of Nano-Derived Particles, Devices, and Systems in Animal Science: A Review

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an innovative discipline of science that has revolutionized the way we perceive the dimension and size of a molecule. The micrometric molecules accessed under the nanometric level generate nano-derived particles through which other nanodevices and nano-systems are contrived. Those nano-derived appliances are accommodable in effectuating copious different functions like physiological and biochemical processes in livestock species. The wide application of nanotechnology in animal science seems to be fateful unless and until nano-derived implements are recognized for execution in the field of animal breeding, production, health and management, and so on. The fundamental motivation behinds this article is to provide an insight into the application of nanostructures in the field of animal science to enhance the current frameworks. This review points out the current applications with appropriate measures of divergent nanotechnological particles, devices, and systems in the periphery of animal science.

Importance of Nano-Sized Feed Additives in Animal Nutrition

“…Manipulation of matter at the nanoscale offers the potential to enhance the functionality of feed molecules as well as increase animal productivity (Bunglavan et al, 2014;Nabi et al, 2020;Rajendran et al, 2022). Nano-sized feed additives such as NPs are extremely small particles that can provide various benefits in animal nutrition (Yadav et al, 2022). These additives can improve both the quantity and quality of safe, healthy and functional animal products.…”

Assessing the Benefits and Considerations of Functional Feed Additive Administration in Broiler Chicken

“…Moreover, nanoscale additives for animal feed have been developed. There are nano-sized liquid vitamin mixes that may be utilized in the manufacturing of poultry and animal feed (Yadav et al, 2022a). The feed supplements are tailored to the breed and age of the birds being fed (Yitbarek, 2015).…”
