Abstract
As the global demand for high-quality animal products continues to rise, the livestock industry faces unprecedented challenges in ensuring the health, productivity, and sustainability of livestock farming. Nanotechnology, with its ability to manipulate materials at the nanoscale, presents a promising frontier for innovative solutions in animal health and husbandry. These applications of nanotechnology in livestock farming, focusing on disease prevention, nutritional enhancement, and environmental sustainability. The first section of the research delves into nanomaterials as novel tools for disease prevention and control in livestock. The second segment highlights the use of nanotechnology to address nutritional challenges in livestock farming. Nanoscale nutrient delivery systems are investigated for their capacity to enhance the bioavailability of essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, thereby improving animal growth, reproduction, and overall health. Nanosensors are used for real-time monitoring of nutritional parameters, feeding strategies for livestock nutrition.
