Nanoscience and nanotechnology shows immense interest in various areas of research and applications, including biotechnology, biomedical sciences, nanomedicine, and veterinary medicine. Studies and application of nanotechnology was explored very extensively in the human medical field and also studies undertaken in rodents extensively, still either studies or applications in veterinary medicine is not up to the level when compared to applications to human beings. The application in veterinary medicine and animal production is still relatively innovative. Recently, in the era of health care technologies, Veterinary Medicine also entered into a new phase and incredible transformations. Nanotechnology has tremendous and potential influence not only the way we live, but also on the way that we practice veterinary medicine and increase the safety of domestic animals, production, and income to the farmers through use of nanomaterials. The current status and advancements of nanotechnology is being used to enhance the animal growth promotion, and production. To achieve these, nanoparticles are used as alternative antimicrobial agents to overcome the usage alarming rate of antibiotics, detection of pathogenic bacteria, and also nanoparticles being used as drug delivery agents as new drug and vaccine candidates with improved characteristics and performance, diagnostic, therapeutic, feed additive, nutrient delivery, biocidal agents, reproductive aids, and finally to increase the quality of food using various kinds of functionalized nanoparticles, such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, micellar nanoparticles, and metal nanoparticles. It seems that nanotechnology is ideal for veterinary applications in terms of cost and the availability of resources. The main focus of this review is describes some of the important current and future principal aspects of involvement of nanotechnology in Veterinary Medicine. However, we are not intended to cover the entire scenario of Veterinary Medicine, despite this review is to provide a glimpse at potential important targets of nanotechnology in the field of Veterinary Medicine. Considering the strong potential of the interaction between the nanotechnology and Veterinary Medicine, the aim of this review is to provide a concise description of the advances of nanotechnology in Veterinary Medicine, in terms of their potential application of various kinds of nanoparticles, secondly we discussed role of nanomaterials in animal health and production, and finally we discussed conclusion and future perspectives of nanotechnology in veterinary medicine.
纳米科学和纳米技术在生物技术、生物医学科学、纳米医学和兽医医学等各个研究和应用领域都显示出巨大的兴趣。纳米技术的研究和应用在人类医学领域得到了广泛的探索,在啮齿动物身上也进行了广泛的研究,但与应用于人类相比,兽医领域的研究或应用还没有达到相应的水平。纳米技术在兽医和动物生产中的应用仍然相对创新。最近,在医疗保健技术时代,兽医也进入了一个新的阶段,发生了令人难以置信的变革。纳米技术不仅对我们的生活方式产生了巨大而潜在的影响,而且对我们实践兽医的方式以及通过使用纳米材料提高家畜的安全性、生产和农民的收入也产生了巨大而潜在的影响。纳米技术的现状和进展正在被用于促进动物生长和生产。为了实现这些目标,正在使用纳米颗粒作为替代抗菌剂来克服抗生素的使用令人担忧的速度,检测病原菌,并且纳米颗粒也被用作药物输送剂,作为具有改进特性和性能的新型药物和疫苗候选物,诊断、治疗、饲料添加剂、营养物质输送、杀菌剂、生殖辅助剂,最后使用各种功能化纳米颗粒(如脂质体、聚合物纳米颗粒、树枝状大分子、胶束纳米颗粒和金属纳米颗粒)来提高食品质量。纳米技术在兽医应用方面似乎具有成本和资源可用性方面的优势。本综述的主要重点是描述了纳米技术在兽医中的一些当前和未来的主要应用方面。然而,我们并不打算涵盖兽医医学的整个情况,尽管本综述旨在提供纳米技术在兽医领域的潜在重要目标的一瞥。考虑到纳米技术与兽医医学之间的强烈相互作用潜力,本综述的目的是简要描述纳米技术在兽医医学中的进展,就各种纳米颗粒的潜在应用而言,其次我们讨论了纳米材料在动物健康和生产中的作用,最后我们讨论了纳米技术在兽医中的结论和未来展望。
