“…Copper concentrations recorded by Benito et al [21] in the blood of wild birds from the vicinity of the Do ňana National Park in Spain located in the area of influence of metal ore mines ranged from 0.133-0.586 mg/L. The copper content in the blood of chickens observed by Sharma et al [12] was 0.2-1.1 µg/g w/w, while in the liver it was 1.8-3.0 µg/g w/w and clearly decreased with increasing silver concentration, confirming the antagonistic effect of both elements. The concentration of copper in the blood serum of laying hens ranged from 3.4-5.3 µmol/L, depending on the housing system [22].…”

“…Sharma et al [12] analyzed the effect of ingesting various forms of silver with food on the content of selected chemical elements in chickens' tissues. The silver content in blood was 0.05-1.2 µg/g w/w, while that in liver ranged from 0.19 to 1.9 µg/g, depending on the form of silver taken in.…”

“…This is not a large increase; however, in the case of the liver the difference was significant, which may indicate the need for further research in this area to determine the safe limits of nanosilver application as an effective and safe disinfectant in animal husbandry. Literature reports also suggest that main sites of silver accumulation may be liver, lung and blood [12,16,17].…”

Nanosilver has a wide range of applications in many industries, including animal production. Its beneficial effects resulting from, among others, antibacterial properties are known; however, some concerns remain related to safety of its use and possible accumulation in the environment and all its components. This study aimed to analyze the content of silver and antagonistic elements (copper, selenium, zinc) in breast and thigh muscles, abdomen skin, liver, lung and blood serum of broilers exposed to a nanosilver-based preparation added to litter. Ross 308 broilers were divided into three groups: control and two experimental (84 birds in each) differing by the amount of preparation addition. The study lasted 24 days, after which the birds were slaughtered and the mentioned samples were collected for laboratory analyses using atomic absorption spectroscopy. An application of preparation based on nanosilver caused an increase in Ag content in chickens’ liver, lung and abdomen skin. Cu content decreased in all experimental groups, except for abdomen skin, while Zn content increased in most cases compared to the control. No clear decrease of the increasing tendency was found for Se. It did not demonstrate an antagonism with respect to the content of Cu, Se and Zn in examined samples.

“…A study by Sharma et al [16] investigating the effects of oral ingestion of different forms of silver on the content of essential elements in chick tissues showed a marked rise in the silver content in the liver, kidneys, spleen as well as in the blood of chickens fed nanosilver-supplemented feed, irrespective of the form of silver supplied. In their research on rats, Kim et al [8], observed the accumulation of this metal in all the studied tissues, i.e.…”

This study aimed to assess levels of silver nanoparticle residues in eggshells and tissues as well as the levels of selected biochemical parameters and oxidative stress indices in chickens hatched from nanosilver disinfected eggs. The samples included 40 Greenleg Partridge chicks allocated into two groups. The experimental group (group D) consisted of chickens hatched from eggs disinfected with a nanosilver preparation prior to incubation, while the control group (group C) included chickens whose eggs were exposed to UV radiation for disinfection. The eggshells and kidney sections obtained from group D chickens showed a significantly higher silver level compared to group C. For the biochemical parameters, only the uric acid content was higher in group D compared to group C. Analysis of the antioxidative stress biomarkers (superoxide dismutase and catalase), showed a significant increase in group D in relation to group C.

“…Although there has been no published study on silver residues in poultry meat and organs, some studies have investigated the accumulation of silver ions in various animal organ tissues. Sharma, et al [22] showed that feeding nano-silver compounds to chickens can accumulate in their tissues. In that study, silver was found in the liver, kidneys, spleen, and blood of chickens that were fed silver-contained supplements.…”

Background: One of the concerns of consumers of animal protein sources is the residues of heavy metals in meat. The accumulation of these elements in meat and the consumption by humans can cause acute and chronic disorders in the function of vital organs. Methods: For the estimation of cadmium, zinc and silver in the poultry meat products, 100 samples of chicken breasts, thighs, hearts and livers were collected from meat markets in Isfahan Province. The tissues were digested and passed through filter paper, and the cadmium, zinc and silver contents were measured by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: The mean contents of cadmium in the chicken thigh, breast, liver and heart samples were 0.055±0.021, 0.048±0.023, 0.074±0.031, and 0.012±0.004 mg/kg, respectively. The mean contents of zinc in the chicken thigh, breast, liver and heart samples were 17.19±8.10, 15.70±5.75, 22.10±10.87, and 19.70±10.38 mg/kg, respectively. The concentrations of cadmium and zinc were below the international permissible limits in all samples. The mean concentrations of silver in some chicken thigh, breast, liver and heart samples were 0.0080±0.0044, 0.0048±0.0013, 0.012±0.009 and 0.0036±0.006, respectively. Of note, silver was not detected in most chicken samples. Conclusion: This study did not find cadmium, zinc and silver in the chicken meat samples above the international permissible limits. However, frequent monitoring for heavy metals in poultry meat sold in public markets is warranted to prevent their transmission to the human food chain.
