“…The growth-enhancing effect of iron nanoparticles on chickens was previously described (Nikonov et al, 2011), and the different growth-enhancing actions of particles of different size was substantiated by the results of additional studies (Yu et al, 2012). The growth-stimulating effect of iron nanoparticles may be explained by metabolic changes in the chick.…”

We studied the influence of highly dispersed elemental iron preparations on the productivity and metabolism of broiler chicks. Iron nanoparticles were synthesized using high-temperature condensation. No toxicity of the nanoparticles and their agglomerates was observed in an experiment utilizing a genetically engineered luminescent strain of Escherichia coli (K12 TG1). The efficiency of single intramuscular injections in 120 broiler chicks (Smena 7) of preparations containing iron particles with sizes of 80 ± 5 nm (nanoparticles), 923.7 ± 29.6 nm (nanoparticle agglomerates) or 9.8 ± 0.4 nm (microparticles) was compared. The use of these preparations increased the live weight of the chickens. The maximum difference in live weight was observed 4 days after the injection of nanoparticles (9.8%; P ≤ 0.01), 17 days after the injection of agglomerates (4.97%; P ≤ 0.01), and 17 days after the injection of microparticles (8.5%; P ≤ 0.01). Injections with iron preparations were accompanied by increased protein deposition, causing daily weight gain in chickens. This gain was higher by 1.3 -4.3 g when nanoparticles were used, by 0.6 -1.4 g for agglomerates, and by 0.1 -1.4 g for microparticles. The iron preparations promoted an increase in the arginine content of the chicken liver compared with that of control animals. After the use of nanoparticles, the arginine content increase was 2.25% (P ≤ 0.05) within 1 day and 3.78% (P ≤ 0.05) 7 days after injection. The arginine content increased by 2.08% (P ≤ 0.05) 7 days after the use of agglomerates and by 3.86% (P ≤ 0.05) 21 days after the use of microparticles. Thus, similar biological effects were shown for different sizes of elemental iron particles. These effects were enhanced as the particle size decreased, although further investigation is required before the joint use of metal nanoparticles and arginine.

“…In the following subchapters, an attention is mainly focused on the beneficial effect of some inorganic NPs (Zn, ZnO, Cu, CuO, Se, Ag) and nanoscale formulations containing organic active compounds (e.g., essential oils, vitamins) on growth performance and some important biochemical parameters of aquatic animals, poultry, pigs and other domestic animals like cattle, sheep, and rabbits. Nanoformulations have also found their way into the fortification of animal feeds [253,254].…”

Dietary supplements and foods for special medical purposes are special medical products classified according to the legal basis. They are regulated, for example, by the European Food Safety Authority and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as well as by various national regulations issued most frequently by the Ministry of Health and/or the Ministry of Agriculture of particular countries around the world. They constitute a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants or other compounds with a nutritional or physiological effect contained in the food/feed, alone or in combination, intended for direct consumption in small measured amounts. As nanotechnology provides “a new dimension” accompanied with new or modified properties conferred to many current materials, it is widely used for the production of a new generation of drug formulations, and it is also used in the food industry and even in various types of nutritional supplements. These nanoformulations of supplements are being prepared especially with the purpose to improve bioavailability, protect active ingredients against degradation, or reduce side effects. This contribution comprehensively summarizes the current state of the research focused on nanoformulated human and veterinary dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods for special medical purposes, their particular applications in various food products and drinks as well as the most important related guidelines, regulations and directives.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of L-cysteine-coated iron oxide nanoparticles on reproductive performance in breeder quails. The five treatment diets consisted of (i) negative control diet not supplemented with iron, (ii) positive control diet supplemented with 60 mg/kg of Fe O and (iii) experimental diets supplemented with 0.6, 6 and 60 mg/kg of L-cysteine-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. A total of 100 seven-day-old quail chicks were weighed and randomly placed to five groups of five replicate cages. Four quails (one male and three females) were raised in each cage (50 × 15 × 17 cm). Egg production, feed consumption and egg weight were recorded daily and calculated on a hen per day basis. Egg components, fertility, hatchability and day-old chicks hatched from their eggs were measured at the end of the experiment. The percentage of egg production and egg mass of the 6 mg/kg Fe O -Cys NPs group were significantly higher than those of the control groups. Throughout the experimental period, the highest weekly egg weight was recorded for the 60 mg/kg Fe O -Cys NPs group. Fertility was improved by diet supplemented with iron, both FeSO and Fe O -Cys NPs. The breeder fed Fe O -Cys NPs had the highest day-old chicks weight. The results of this study showed that Fe O nanoparticles that were coated by L-cysteine could improve availability and utilization of iron in diet. Finally, it was proposed that Fe O -Cys NPs could be used as feed additives in quails.
