Emerging Trends of Bioactive Nano-materials in Modern Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry
Abstract
Nanoscience and technology is a fascinating and fast developing sector of science and technology that deals with atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scales. Nanotechnology is concerned with nano-scale manipulation and the use of diverse tools and functional materials. Herein an effort has been taken to focus on the chronological development in nanoscience and technology. Then we discussed various synthetic routes for the production of materials at nanoscale. The biological routes of synthesis using virus, bacteria, fungus, plants and templates are discussed in detail. Then we tried to focus on the properties of materials at nano-scale. Also we discussed the reason for change in properties at nano-scale. In the last section of the review paper we focused on various applications of nano-materials particularly in veterinary medicine, health and textile. Then finally the future perspectives of nano-science and technology is discussed.
