The Growth Promoting and Immuno-Stimulant Effects of Nano Zinc Oxide of Broiler Chicks

Abstract

The current study was conducted to study the effects of dietary zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) supplementation on broiler\x92s performance, immune response, some hematological, biochemical and histopathological changes. A total of 100 one-day-old Ross (308) broiler chicks were randomly divided into two dietary treatments (50 chicks per each) the first group fed on the basal diet without any supplement, the second group chicks treated with 20mg ZnONPs /kg diet. The chicks received the treatment daily for 37 successive days. The obtained results clarified that ZnONPs supplementation significantly (P
