Nanotechnologies and their application in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine

Abstract

Goal. To analyze the results and prospects of the development of research on nanotechnology and the application of nanomaterials in livestock and veterinary medicine. Results The coordination role of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine and the Institute of Animal Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on the implementation of nanobiotechnological research in livestock is shown. Investigated: use of chelates (based on nanoparticles of biogenic metals) in feed additives; application of nanobiotechnological methods for diagnosing animal diseases; construction of nanosilver drugs and vaccine adjuvants; influence of nanoparticles of metals on gametes viability, reproductive function and resistance of animals to animals. Conclusions The development of the Ukrainian agrarian sector should be based on the introduction of the latest developments of domestic scientists in nanotechnology in livestock and veterinary medicine.
