Summary: Traditionally, higher levels of inorganic zinc (Zn) were added to broiler chicken diets to meet optimal body requirements, but this can lead to heavy metal contamination. Nanomaterial ZnO NPs have unique properties that increase nutrient utilization and improve broiler physiological function and production. This study found that dietary biosynthesized ZnO NPs increased Zn absorption in broiler chickens, improved tibia bone development, and enhanced antioxidative status in serum and liver tissue.
