Abstract
Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary, emerging field of science that frequently utilizes advanced tools and techniques from diverse backgrounds, including medicine, biology, engineering, and chemistry. During the past decades, nanotechnology has been gaining considerable attention from researchers due to its promising advantages in food and agriculture industry. Nanoparticles have been utilized as therapeutic and diagnostic agents in the medical field, though their novel applications in animal production and veterinary medicine are still relatively new. Nanotechnology emerged as a powerful tool in diagnosing diseases of cattle and aids in monitoring and detecting the pathogens that pertain to affecting the cells and metabolism of livestock. However, a branch of nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, has designed functional tools and techniques to produce advanced avenues in the area of biotechnology, genomics, molecular biology, and animal sciences. Nanoparticles can be utilized as an antimicrobial tool for animal growth promoters and nutrient delivery. Thus, the current advancements and status of nanotechnological applications in livestock breeding with focus on the emerging roles of nanoparticles in monitoring and detecting the pathogens in cells as well as in livestock feed are described in this chapter.
