Introduction: one nanometer is one billionth of a meter Since the invention of STM, a new subject with the scale of 0.1 to 100 nm has emerged in the world This is nanotechnology By manipulating atoms, molecules or atomic groups and molecular groups to rearrange and combine them, nanotechnology can form new substances and make machines with new functions Nanotechnology has a profound impact in the fields of information bioengineering, medicine, materials and so on The application of nanotechnology in domestic poultry industry mainly includes: 1 In genetic breeding, the current genetic engineering breeding method is to use restriction endonuclease to cut the required gene segments and then connect them to the DNA of breeding chickens Since the connection point of gene fragment and DNA is usually random, the probability of success of each experiment is different With nanotechnology, DNA is first decomposed into single genes, and then assembled according to human needs The success rate is almost 100% 2 In feeding management, feed raw material particles are crushed to nanometer level and then processed into particles In this way, the contact area of feed and digestive solution is tens of thousands of times larger than the current feed, which is easier to digest and absorb, greatly reducing the ratio of feed to meat and feed to egg, and reducing the production cost At the same time, the antinutritional factors in feed will change qualitatively at nanometer level, which will require the re determination of feed composition and nutrition standard Recalculation of feed formula has brought about a revolution in feed production 3 In epidemic prevention and diagnosis, microchips made by nanotechnology that carry various vaccines and can be released accurately can be immune to various infectious diseases for life as long as they are implanted into the body once In this way, not only the stress caused by the current multiple immunization can be avoided, but also the immune effect can be greatly improved, and the current procedure of immune method can be completely changed 4 The quality of products, the drugs produced by nanotechnology, because of greatly improving the efficacy, reduce the dosage, and solve the problem of drug residues in poultry products The shelf life of the product can be greatly prolonged by packaging the eggs with nano ultra thin film and the poultry meat with anti-bacterial nano plastic bag.
