CURRENT PROSPECTS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY USES IN ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND ITS FUTURE SCENARIO

The usage of nanoparticles in veterinary/animal production is still relatively new, yetthey have long been used as therapeutic and/or diagnostic tools in human medicine. At the moment,improvements and breakthroughs in animal production are being made using nanotechnologyadvancements. Therefore, the goal of the current review is to provide a data-ailed classification anduses of nano-particles in animal science. By increasing therapeutic benefits and minimizing sideeffects, the creation of an alternative medicine delivery system based on nanoparticles is thought to bebeneficial for treating microbial illnesses. The increasing applications of nanoparticles in veterinarymedicine, reproductive technology, food delivery, biocide, and as a factor in meat, egg, and milkquality has been widely studied and found to be a noteworthy effect. Recently, the introduction ofnovel, small-scale technologies, and materials that are advantageous to livestock species hasrevolutionized practically most aspects of veterinary care and animal research. This review will coverinformation about varying types of nanoparticles, the benefits of using nanomaterials over theiralternatives, and the nanotechnology role and applications in veterinary science. The use ofnanoparticles to create nano-vaccines and nano-adjuvants, and their usage in gene therapy and cancertreatment has ushered in a new era of medicine. Moreover, there is also limited literature available onthe use and possible effects of nanoparticles in poultry feed, hence, this review will highlight thepromising effect of various mineral nanoparticles (NPs) or mineral supplements on the productionperformance of broiler and commercial layers.
