Effects of in ovo Administration of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Vitamin C on Hatchability Performance and Redox Status in Day Old Kadaknath Hatchlings

Background: In poultry industry, hatcheries play a vital role in connecting the production chain and are expected productive performance, with an impact on company profits. The use of ovo feeding support embryonic development offers efficiency welfare commercial poultry. Methods: This study investigated administration normal saline, Zinc oxide nanoparticles Vitamin C hatchability, chick growth redox status Kadaknath hatchlings. nanostructures were synthesized by chemical method characterized for size determination. A total 150 fertile eggs breed divided into five groups (T0 to T4) treated 200 μl each zinc (5 10 ppm) respectively 18th day incubation through air sac amniotic fluid. Result: Rod shaped ranging from 45 98 nm showed sharp peak positioned at 436.59 cm-1. nano composite 5 ppm vitamin had significantly (p less than 0.05) improved hatch weight, weight egg ratio antioxidant status.
