“…Numerically, the chicks received drinking water supplemented with 10.0 ppm nanoparticles had the highest percentages of carcass, TEP and abdominal fat% which recorded values (70.34, 75.03 and 1.35%) respectively compared with other treatments. These results agree with Ibrahim et al (2015), El-Faham et al (2017) who showed that the percentages of Dressing percentage and adipose fat hadn't affected significantly with treatments.…”

study conducted to evaluate the use of silver nanoparticles in broiler drinking water compared to graphene nanoparticles on carcass characteristics and immune organs%. 270 unsexed one-day old of Cobb 500 broiler chicks were divided into 9 treatments, each has 3 replicates with 10 broiler chicks. The tested nanoparticles treatments were (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 ppm/L) drinking water of two types of nanoparticles (silver or graphene). At the end of experiment, the carcass traits and immune organs% of four birds per treatment were determined. The results showed that: No statistical differences between treatments were found on carcass characteristics (carcass, giblets, total edible parts and abdominal fat %) or carcass parts (breast, thigh, drumstick and wings %). No significant effects, related to nanoparticles (silver vs. graphene) utilization, were observed for the weight of spleen and bursa of fabricius. The obtained results showed that the supplementation of nanoparticles (silver vs. graphene) by different levels in broiler drinking water didn't affected carcass characteristics and immune organs%.

“…In the same context in rats, Kim et al (2010) reported that oral consumption of Ag-NPs did not significantly affect liver %, spleen %, kidney %, and heart %. El-Faham et al (2017) observed no significant changes in carcass traits of quail, broilers, and rabbits that were administered in drinking water with various levels of Ag-NPs (0, 5, or 10 ppm). The converse trend was detected by Hassan (2018), who supplemented drinking water or feed of broilers with Ag-NPs and documented a significant change in dressing %, liver %, and heart %.…”

“…Also, the possible causes of the inconsistent results can be related to the difference in animal species, the size of particles, the technique of synthesis, the administration dose, or manners. (El-Faham et al, 2017) found that different levels of Ag-NPs (0, 5, or 10 ppm in the drinking water) did not yield any statistically significant impact on LBW, BWG, or FCR of rabbits and broilers. However, it was observed that the Japanese quails exhibited superior BWG and FCR values in the group supplemented with 10 ppm of Ag-NPs, in comparison to the control group.…”

“…However, a noteworthy rise exclusively in lactic acid bacteria was detected. El-Faham et al (2017) found that the inclusion of Ag-NPs in drinking water at 5 and 10 ppm decreased total bacterial count and both harmful and helpful bacteria in the intestine of broiler chicks. These contradictory results can be related to the difference of animal species, the size of particles, the technique of synthesis, or the administration dose, manners, or duration.…”

The present study investigated the impact of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on growth performance, carcass traits, liver and kidney functions, immunity and antioxidant indicators, digestive enzymes, and cecum bacteriology of growing rabbits. 100 5-week-old New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits were randomly divided into 5 equal groups and fed for 8 weeks on the basal diet only or on the basal diet supplemented with different levels of Ag-NPs (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, or 1.00 mg/kg diet). Animals in each group were randomly distributed in 10 cages (replicates), with two rabbits each. Different dietary concentrations of Ag-NPs significantly increased live body weight (LBW) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Also, body weight gain (BWG) increased dramatically during all experimental periods except 11-13 weeks of age. Levels of 0.25 and 1 mg of Ag-NPs/kg diet showed the highest increase in LBW, BWG, and FCR. All studied carcass traits, except liver %, were not affected by Ag-NPs levels. Rabbits fed diet supplemented with 1 mg Ag-NPs had the highest liver %. Serum total protein, albumin, and globulin levels were increased (P<0.05) in groups treated with 0.25 and 0.75 mg Ag-NPs. In contrast, serum values of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT), urea and creatinine were significantly reduced with the supplementation of Ag-NPs up to 0.75 mg/kg diet. The immunoglobulins M, G, and A (IgM, IgG, and IgA), complement 3 (C3) and lysozyme activity were improved with the inclusion of nano-silver in the rabbit feeds, particularly at the level of 0.25 mg Ag-NPs/kg feed. The inclusion of Ag-NPs in rabbit diets at different concentrations increased the total antioxidant capacity and the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Growing rabbits fed on diets supplemented with Ag-NPs had higher levels of digestive enzymes than the control group. The addition of Ag-NPs reduced the load of E. coli, Salmonella spp. and Colioform in the rabbit cecum. Overall, the inclusion of 0.25–1 mg Ag-NPs/kg to NZW rabbit diets has shown beneficial effects on health and performance.

“…The results showed that significantly decreasing in LBW increase the silver nanoparticles levels. El-Faham et al (2017) studied the effect of different levels of silver nanoparticles (0.0, 5.0 and 10 ppm/l) in poultry (broiler chicken, rabbits and Jap. quail) drinking water on performance.…”

he aim of the study was estimated the effect of silver nanoparticles as a water supplementation in broiler chicken on productive performance, carcass characteristics and bone measurements at five weeks feeding trail. A total number of 150 (cobb 500) were divided randomly into 5 treatment (30 chicks each), each treatment replicated 3 time of 10 chicks. The experimental treatments were supplemented the drinking water with different levels of silver nanoparticles (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 ppm). At the end of experiment 4 birds of each treatment were slaughtered to estimate carcass characteristics and bone measurements. The results showed that live body weight, daily body weight gain, daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio, performance index and European production efficiency factor weren't affected significantly by treatments. All carcass traits and cuts also weren't affected significantly by different levels of silver nanoparticles except breast%. There weren't significant differences between treatment in all bone physical or chemical measurements except tibia breaking strength where it decreased significantly in all treated groups and ash% where it increased significantly in all treated groups. In conclusion, supplemented different levels of silver nanoparticles in broiler drinking water hadn't negative effect on growth performance, carcass characteristic or bone measurements.
