چکیده
Accepted: 31/10/2014 Abstract Nanomedicine is an emerging and novel field that will not only change the way veterinary medicine is practiced but also revolutionize the modern day therapeutics and diagnosis of diseases. It is the application of nanotechnology to achieve faster and effective solution to our day to day problems of management of diseases by acting at a nanoscale and bringing about target oriented results. The use of nanomedicine has been implicated in target specific drug delivery by nanoparticle formulations such as liposome, SLNs, and fullerenes etc and in sensitive diagnosis of diseases by employing quantum dots, magnetic nano particles etc. Certain nanoparticles are also being foresighted as potential adjuvant, which will enhance efficacy of antigen presentation and prolong the duration of immunity. Thus this article will provide a glimpse of the probable future of nanomedicine in veterinary science and keep veterinarians abreast of the emerging technology.

Although the mechanisms under which sex ratio is controlled in nature remain unknown, researchers have attempted to treat sperm in an effort to predetermine the sex of the offspring. The methods of sperm separation that have been repeatedly reported to isolate fractions rich in X- or Y-chromosome bearing sperm are serum albumin gradient swim-up and flow cytometry. However, the ability of the se...
