Application of nanotechnology in technological processes of animal husbandry in Ukraine

Abstract

Today, it is becoming more and more obvious that those countries that develop electronics, nanotechnology and biotechnology will have an advantage. The studies carried out have shown that the use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in animal husbandry currently allows solving a number of acute problems and provides a significant effect. In animal husbandry, it is advisable to use nanotechnology in technological processes, where they provide additional advantages. When forming the microclimate in the premises for keeping animals and poultry, the use of nanotechnology makes it possible to replace the energy-intensive supply and exhaust ventilation system with an energy-saving air conditioning system while ensuring the regulatory parameters of the microclimate: temperature, humidity, gas composition, microbial content, dustiness, air velocity, eliminating odors while maintaining the heat release of animals. Nanoelectrotechnology in the technological processes of poultry farming using high and medium-high frequency electromagnetic radiation allows for: ultraviolet irradiation of hatching eggs and young poultry in order to decontaminate them from pathogens and stimulate perinatal (during incubation) development of young animals (studies have shown that hatchability of chickens increases to 94, and their preservation is up to 99%); disinfection and pasteurization of eggs; division of young poultry by sex. Taking into account the problems of environmental pollution, emissions with an unpleasant smell and gases affecting global warming, existing in animal husbandry, the most effective at present is the use of film-forming solutions of catalytic action. A promising development is the development of environmentally friendly nanotechnology for electroconservation of silage mass of green fodder with an electroactivated preservative instead of expensive organic acids, which require strict safety measures.
