Clemson Researchers Develop Nanoparticle Chicken Feed

Researchers from Clemson University in the U.S. have developed nanoparticles that can be added to chicken feed to target and bind to pathogens in chickens, allowing them to be purged through the bowels.
The article says that chickens are susceptible to diseases, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can cause human diseases, and that vaccines and medications used to treat chickens “can be effective but pose risks to growers and consumers.”
Researcher Jeremy Tzeng said, “If we use this physical purging, physical removal, we are not using antibiotics so the chance of the microorganism becoming resistant to it is really small.”
The researchers say that additional testing is needed before the new chicken feed is used.
