Comprehensive Approaches of Nanoparticles for Growth Performance and Health Benefits in Poultry: An Update on the Current Scenario

Abstract

Currently, providing nutritious food to all people is one of the greatest challenges due to rapid human population growth. The global poultry industry is a part of the agrifood sector playing an essential role in food insecurity by providing nutritious meat and egg sources. However, limited meat production with less nutritional value is not fulfilling the higher market demands worldwide. Researchers are focusing on nanobiotechnology by employing phytosynthesized mineral nanomaterials to improve the growth performance and nutritional status of broilers as these mineral nanoparticles are usually absorbed in greater amounts from the gastrointestinal tract and exert enhanced biological effects in the target tissues of animals with greater tissue accumulation. These mineral nanoparticles are efficiently absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and reach essential organs via blood. As a result, it enhances growth performance and nutritional value with less toxicity and tremendous bioavailability properties. In this review, the research work conducted in the recent past, on the different aspects of nanotechnology including supplementation of mineral nanoparticle in diet and their potential role in the poultry industry, has been concisely discussed.

In Ovo Feeding Techniques of Green Nanoparticles of Silver and Probiotics: Evaluation of Performance, Physiological, and Microbiological Responses of Hatched One-Day-Old Broiler Chicks

“…The in ovo administration of various probiotic species did not significantly affect the incidence of avian pathogenic E. coli in broiler chickens in [45]. The in ovo inoculation of probiotics was found to be effective at lowering pathogenic bacteria colonization from day 1 to day 7 in [46]. Compared to the control group, the in ovo injection of probiotics had no effect on an E. coli population in one-day-old chicks but reduced it on day three of age in [18].…”

Nanotechnology innovations for increasing the productivity of poultry and the prospective of nanobiosensors

“…Although nanomaterials are much lower in dose than traditional organic and inorganic minerals, they exhibit notable growth‐inducing, immunity‐enhancing and antimicrobial properties. Egg production, weight gain and overall production quality could all be significantly enhanced by adding nano‐mineral supplements such as chromium, zinc and selenium to poultry rations (Abdel‐Wareth et al., 2022 ; Ilyas et al., 2022 ; Michalak et al., 2022 ). Bone density and egg production increased after adding nano‐selenium and nano‐zinc to laying hen diets (Abbasi et al., 2022 ; Ogbuewu & Mbajiorgu, 2023 ).…”

Effect of Adding Different Levels of Silver -Curcumin Nanoparticles on Some Productive Traits, Blood Parameters and Antioxidant Status of Broiler Chickens

“…Nanotechnology is one of the technologies that has been introduced in the poultry industry recently, and it is an important and innovative technology that is working to revolutionize the poultry sector all on the world (Hameed., 2021). One of the most important aims of using nanoparticles in the poultry industry is to improve their production qualities, improve bioavailability, and enhance immunity, digestibility, growth performance of broilers (Ahmad et al, 2022). Nanoparticles, like nanocurcumin, can quickly interact with biological systems and pass through living organisms' cell membranes with ease.…”
