Effect of Nano-zinc oxide on productive performance, nutrient digestibility, some blood biochemistry of broilers – a review.

Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles are mineral salts with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Through the use of nanotechnology, nanoparticles, which have been discovered to have several novel properties different from those of bulk materials or commercial salts of these minerals, can be used as a supplemental source of trace minerals in diets. Feed additives such as trace mineral nanoparticles play an active role in poultry production productivity. Zinc is a trace element that improves broiler growth performance and meat quality. Furthermore, zinc can benefit animals in a variety of ways, including antioxidant, protein synthesis, glandular development, carbohydrate metabolism, and production performance, in addition to acting as a cofactor in over 300 metalloenzymes. Broilers fed a zinc-rich diet showed an improvement in immune response. This study aimed to provide an overview of nano-Zno's impact on broilers' productive performance.
