Review on Application of Nanotechnology in Animal Health and Production

Abstract

Nanotechnology is research and technology development at the atomic, molecular and macromolecular levels at the scale of approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range, to provide a fundamental understanding of phenomena and materials at the Nano scale and to create and use structures, devices and systems that have novel properties and functions because of their small and/or intermediate size. Nanotechnology has the potential to solve many more puzzles related to animal health, products and breeding. The applications of nanotechnology become the proving ground for untried and more controversial techniques from Nano capsule vaccines to sex selection in breeding. There are numerous applications of nanotechnology in veterinary medicine including disease diagnosis, treatment, drug delivery, animal breedingand improving and boosting animal origin food product. It provide variety of new nanomaterial and nanoparticle including Nano chips, nanosenser, liopsoms, quantum dot, gold nanoparticle, magnetic nanoparticle etc for vaccination, pathogen detection, disease diagnosis, animal breeding and provide polymeric nanoparticle, carbon nanotube, Nano shell dendrites, etc for delivering antimicrobial nanoparticle and Nano medicine for treatment of disease. It is swiftly changing the diagnosis and treatment patterns at faster and low cost in less time duration.
