A total of 192 unsexed day-old "Cobb" broiler chicks were used to evaluate the effects of different levels of dietary nano zinc oxide (N-ZnO) on nitrogen and minerals retention, blood serum measurements, meat chemical composition and tibia minerals of broiler chickens. Chicks were randomly distributed into six treatments of four replicates eight chicks each. A control contained 100 mg inorganic ZnO/kg diet (I-ZnO) and 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20 mg N-ZnO/kg diet were fed. Diets supplemented with different levels of N-ZnO had significant effect on blood serum parameters except for total protein and cholesterol. The highest contents of (albumin, high density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, calcium, phosphorous and zinc) and the lowest (triglycerides, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate transferase, alanine transferase, alkaline phosphatase and malondialdehyde) were obtained with 20 mg N-ZnO/kg diet. A significant reduction in moisture and fat and significant increase in crude protein, ash and minerals (Ca, P and Zn) of breast and thigh meats were observed with N-ZnO treatments; the lowest and the highest percentages, respectively, of the former criteria were recorded with 20 mg N-ZnO. Birds fed N-ZnO (40 and 20), (60, 40 and 20) and 20 mg/kg diet had the highest significant tibia Ca, Zn and P percentages, respectively. Nano-ZnO treatments significantly increased the retention percentages except for Zn. Birds fed 40 mg N-ZnO/kg diet exhibited the highest nitrogen, Ca, P and Zn retention. It could be concluded that supplementation of N-ZnO to broiler diet improved birds' physiological status, meat carcass quality, bone mineralization and nutrients retention. The lower levels of N-ZnO (20 and 40 mg/kg diet) revealed promising results with no harmful effect on birds' health status.

In poultry, which has an important place in meeting the need for healthy animal protein, the production of ration substance compositions with alternative sources is one of the popular topics of the last period. Nanoparticles produced by nanotechnology of various minerals added to poultry diets are increasingly being used as feed additives that can reduce feed costs, reduce the risk of environmental waste, replace antibiotics and do not pose residue risk in animal products, both in terms of supporting growth and development and strengthening the immune system. The aim of this study was to bring together the studies on the effects of using nanoparticles as feed additives on growth, development performance and immune system in poultry

Poultry production, health and wellbeing are highly dependent upon formulation of balanced rations in terms of energy, protein, and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Among all, minerals are required in fewer quantities, but they are very important to maintain the productivity in poultry. Minerals present in the feeds are less bioavailable and additional supplementation is obligatory to meet the physiological demands of poultry. Conventionally, minerals are supplemented as inorganic salts, which are less absorbed and, thus, a major proportion is excreted to the surroundings creating environment issues. Nano-minerals and organic mineral chelates are other alternative to be used as livestock and poultry feed supplements. Though organic minerals are more bioavailable than inorganic salts, their high cost limits its use. In contrast, nano-minerals are relatively easy to synthesize at a lower cost. Nano-minerals are of the size from 1–100 nm and due to such small size, there is an enormous increase in surface area and thus their biological responses. The biological response studies have signified better retention of nano-minerals as compared to inorganic salts, and consequently leached less to the environment preventing possible pollution. Apart from these, nano-minerals have been shown to enhance growth, egg production and quality, immune-modulation and antioxidant status, and at the same time economize the production by reducing the supplemental dose of minerals and improving the feed conversion ratio. Some nano-minerals and other nanoparticles have strong antimicrobial effects, which have been shown to reduce pathogenic microorganisms in the gut. Nano-minerals seem to be less toxic than conventional mineral sources. Though less, few studies have indicated toxic effects of nano-mineral supplementation at higher dose of application, which should be validated by more programmed studies. Nanotechnology in poultry production system is still in its budding stage and more detailed studies are warranted to validate, establish and search for new effects of nano-minerals as they sometimes produce effects beyond expectation. This review highlights the biological responses of nanominerals on poultry production performance, quality of meat and eggs, tissue retention, immunity, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial actions compared with their conventional mineral sources.
