“…Bacterial plates were incubated at 30 °C for 24 h and fungi for 72 h (Alastruey-Izquierdo et al 2015 ; Feroze et al 2020 ; Huq 2020 ). Similar test for the antimicrobial activity spectrum of P-Ag-NPs was previously published by Hamouda et al ( 2023 ).…”

“…Five ml of mint ( Mentha piperita ) leaves extract was mixed with 100 ml of AgNO 3 solution (1 mM). The mixture was heated at 90 °C for 1 h, with constant stirring of 500 rpm, until the color changed from pale green to dark brown and then stored under darkness at room temperature for 24 h to test the stability of Ag-NPs (Gabriela et al 2017 ; Hamouda et al 2023 ).…”

“…The size and distribution of Ag-NPs particle were measured using TEM (JEOL model JEM-2011) at 80 kV as accelerating voltage. The samples were spread (5 µl) over copper grids coated with carbon, which were then dried in a silica-filled desiccator (Hamouda et al 2023 ).…”

“…Nanotechnology can be a part of the solution to restrict the spread of bacterial diseases through the poultry industry chain. Nano-silver has shown potential to be an efficient disinfectant (Hamouda et al 2023 ) due to the tiny size of silver particles grant them strong bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects on a broad spectrum of microorganisms (Panyala et al 2008 ; Chmielowiec-Korzeniowska et al 2015 ; Ibrahim et al 2018a ). For instance, Li et al ( 2010 ) found that exposing E. coli cells to various nano-silver concentrations (10 and 50 μg/ml) perforated the bacterial cell membrane and decreased the activity of some membranous enzymes, which eventually cause the death of E. coli bacteria.…”

“…Nevertheless, Loghman et al ( 2012 ) showed harmful effects of high doses of nano-silver (8 and 12 ppm) on the liver cells in broilers, which raise some fears about its toxicity effects on the embryos inside the eggs. Thus, nano-silver might be utilized as a disinfectant in the poultry industry only with caution to avoid toxic hazards in birds (El-Sabry et al 2018 ; Hamouda et al 2023 ).…”

This research compared how bacterial-, plant-produced silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and TH4 affected the eggshells microbial load and quail chicks' liver structure, embryonic mortality, and features related to hatchability. Ag-NPs were sensitized by bacterial and plant methods, and then identified by UV–visible spectroscopy, TEM, and FTIR spectroscopy. B-Ag-NPs were found in spherical shapes in size ranging from 7.09 to 18.1 nm versus multi-shape with size range of 25.0–78.1 nm for P-Ag-NPs. A total number of 624 eggs (in three equal groups) of Japanese quail flock were sprayed with TH4 as control, B-Ag-NPs and P-Ag-NPs. Thereafter, three eggs were sampled randomly from each group for determining important microbial groups. The remaining eggs were incubated according to the recommended incubation conditions. On the day of hatching, the percentages of hatchability and embryonic mortality were measured. Besides, five chicks from each treatment were slaughtered and the livers were utilized for ICP and histological tests. The effects of all three treatments on the microbial count in eggshells were comparable, according to the results. In addition, there was no negative effect on either hatchability percentage or embryonic mortality rate. The liver structure from both B-Ag-NPs and P-Ag-NPs treatments exhibited severe and moderate degeneration of hepatocytes, which may indicate possible hazardous effects of using nanoparticles. Using TH4 did not cause liver structure abnormality. In conclusion, using Ag-NPs for sanitizing hatching eggs effectively reduces the eggshell microbial count without affecting the hatchability percentage. Nevertheless, histological changes are appropriate to be considered as a safety parameter in Ag-NPs applications.

Climate change has emerged as a significant occurrence that adversely affects broiler production, especially in tropical climates. Broiler chickens, bred for rapid growth and high meat production, rely heavily on optimal environmental conditions to achieve their genetic potential. However, climate change disrupts these conditions and poses numerous challenges for broiler production. One of the primary impacts of climate change on broiler production is the decreased ability of birds to attain their genetic potential for faster growth. Broilers are bred to possess specific genetic traits that enable them to grow rapidly and efficiently convert feed into meat. However, in tropical climates affected by climate change, the consequent rise in daily temperatures, increased humidity and altered precipitation patterns create an unfavourable environment for broilers. These conditions impede their growth and development, preventing them from reaching their maximum genetic influence, which is crucial for achieving desirable production outcomes. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates the existing challenges faced by broiler production systems. Higher feed costs impact the industry's economic viability and limit the availability of quality nutrition for the birds, further hampering their growth potential. In addition to feed scarcity, climate change also predisposes broiler chickens to thermal stress. This review collates existing information on climate change and its impact on broiler production, including nutrition, immune function, health and disease susceptibility. It also summarizes the challenges of broiler production under hot and humid climate conditions with different approaches to ameliorating the effects of harsh climatic conditions in poultry.
