Influence of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles using red alga <i>Corallina elongata</i> on broiler chicks’ performance

Abstract Poultry meat is a great source of protein and provides lots nutrients such as iodine, iron, zinc, vitamins, essential fatty acids that humans require. The positive applications metal nanoparticles (NPs) in the diets various poultry species were studied, relation to their metabolic, antibacterial effects on digestion regulation bowel function. This study was carried out test fabrication green silver (AgNPs) Corallina elongata extract and/or coating NPs with acetic acid performance, immune response parameters micro-flora population Ross broiler. Chicks’ drinking water mixed bio-AgNPs (1 mM) for 35 days. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, scanning microscopy, high resolution transmission microscope used determine partial physiochemical characterizations ones. EDS analysis presence AgNP meat. Results confirmed reduced percentage population, which detected by VITEK ® 2 system (BioMérieux, France) identified Pseudomonas orizihabitain 4211210040000210 Sphinogomonas paucimobilis 5201210040000210. chicks disappearance Ag metals.
