Nano- based composite - A successful treatment and preventive measure for coccidiosis in chickens

Abstract

Abstract The parasitic Eimeria species are very harmful to chickens. The chicken sector suffers enormous financial losses as a result of these parasites, primarily due to reduced production efficiency and increased control costs. Clinical coccidiosis is caused by high levels of Eimeriainfection, which is a serious hazard to chicken welfare and a contributing factor in necrotic enteritis. Controlling Eimeria parasites and coccidiosis is thus a critical endeavor; several methods have been developed, and they are frequently used in tandem. Because of their enormous surface area to volume ratio and rapid absorption in the body, nanoparticles can be introduced to feed and provide a good platform for incorporating in diverse chemicals, such as vitamin supplements. We investigate the current state of formula product utilization as a chicken feed additive, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of nano-feed. The major goal of this experiment is to examine whether the attack of cecal coccidia (E. tenella) isolated in the wild in Taiwan has been prevented by adding the nano silica composite as additives into the daily edible feed and drinking water of chickens, as described in the experimental design. The prevention and treatment outcomes will serve as a resource for relevant practitioners.
