The research was carried out in the laboratories of the Ministry of Science and Technology/Iraq. Green nanoparticles were prepared using turmeric (Curcuma plant) extracted by using biological methods and were characterized by using some techniques including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and zeta potential Analyzer. The results showed that the spherical particles were shown individually or in the aggregate, crystalline, and the value zeta voltage at -33.22 mV. The inhibition activity of green nanoparticles was tested against Aspergillus flavus growth and compared with Basten fungicide as a comparison treatment and negative control sample. The results of nanoparticles showed high inhibitor activity in the 590.33 ppm concentration compared to negative control and comparative treatment in concentration 750 ppm. Feeds contaminated with A. flavus isolate were treated with cur. AgNPs at 590.33 ppm for a four-week (incubation period) and Aflatoxin B1. The results showed no Aflatoxin in feed samples were treated with nanoparticles while showing Aflatoxin B1 at a concentration of 38 ppb in control samples. To study the effect of cur. AgNPs against the fungal toxicity in meat broilers feeding to feeding contaminated with Aflatoxin B1 by using some blood and histopathological signs of bird’s liver. The results showed the nanoparticles treatment samples significant superiority compared with the positive control (contaminated with Aflatoxin B1) (p ≤0.01), and no significant differences with control treatment (feed free from any addition). We conclude that the use of green nanoparticles (Curcuma longa L.) produced by biological method as good alternatives to fungicides that harmful to public health and inhibitory activity of A. flavus and prevent the production of Aflatoxin B1 and improve the blood and histopathological signs of birds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
