 ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology is a promising and emerging technology that has tremendous potential to revolutionize poultry sector in India as well as all over the globally. The word nano technology is derived from the Latin word “nanus” meaning dwarf.  Nanoparticles are generally having the dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers. So these nanoparticles can bypass the physiological ways of nutrient distribution and transport across tissue and cell membranes, and have more bioavailability to the target sites. Nanotechnology is an innovative technology which finally create materials and change structure, enhanced quality and texture of foodstuffs at the molecular level. This technology has a major impact on production, processing, transportation, storage, safety and security of food for both human and animal purpose.

Key words: Nanoparticles, poultry, properties and preparation.
