| Abstract | ||||
| Several nutritional and health management approaches are endlessly applied for optimizing the wellbeing and performance of day-old chicks. One of the promising techniques is nanoparticles (NPs) on ovo-feeding with zinc oxide (ZnO) and curcumin (Cur), with proven adding benefits for the poultry health. This makes sense beyond the use and examination of their nanoparticles for in ovo inoculation (IO). Although limited study, examined the combined effects of both zinc and curcumin nanoparticles in ovo feeding. This study aims to examine the possible combined effects of both zinc and curcumin nanoparticles by IO on the hatched broiler chicks physiological parameters, immune status, and gut health. Six hundred fertilized eggs (Ross 308) were randomly allocated into five groups with 4 replicates per group in a completely randomized design (n = 120). The 1st group (G1) was kept as negative control without injection (G1), while the second one (G2) was IO with vehicle (sterile distilled water-DW). The remaining eggs were IO with Cur-NPs (G3), ZnO-NPs (G4), and both of NPs (G5). Current work outcome results have shown a significant (p < 0.05) increase of heterophil counts in G4 and G5 compared to other tested groups. The intestinal villus height and width showed an important increase in G4 and G5 in relation to other ones. The present study concluded that zinc nanoparticles through IO has a positive effects on the day-old chick's physiological properties. As well as the gut health and integrity, which may be reflected absolutely on the chick growth performance. | ||||
