Abstract | ||||
SUMMARY The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a water supplementation on water consumption, microorganism in small intestine, ceca and silver residuals in some edible parts of broilers form 0 – 35 days of age. A total number of 150 (Cobb 500) unsexed broilers were divided randomly into 5 treatments (30 chicks each), with 3 replicates with 10 chicks each. The experimental treatments were prepared by supplemented drinking water with different levels of silver nanoparticles (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 ppm). At the end of the trial four birds per treatment wereslaughtered to estimate the count of beneficial and harmful Bacteria in small intestine , ceca and silver residuals in some edible parts of broilers. The results showed that: Water consumption for broiler showed no significant effect related to different levels of AgNPs. 2- The count of Lactobacillus spp. and E.coliin both small intestine and ceca was affected significantly by different levels of AgNPs. 3- The estimation of residual of silver in some tissues showed that AgNPs wasn’t accumulate in breast or thigh muscles, but it deposed in liver tissues and increase with increasing AgNPs level in broiler drinking water. In addition, inclusions of different levels of AgNPs as water supplementation have significant effects on intestinal microflora and silver accumulation in liver tissue. | ||||
