Abstract
Livestock plays a significant role in the socio-economic development of developing countries by providing livelihood and nutritional security, transport, contingency during crop failure and day-to-day earning to the farm family. The human population is projected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050, which along with increasing urbanization and growing income is expected to increase the demand for livestock products. Global livestock feed demand will be almost doubled, and 1.3 billion tons of grain will be required for feeding farm animals alone. To increase the livestock production efficiency, feed additives have been used to improve the production and growth of high-quality livestock products. Even though feed additives have a pertinent role in animal growth performance, disadvantages like endo toxin production and reduced absorption of nutrients by interaction of additives with naturally occurring nutrients limits the use of feed additives. A majority of the macronutrients in the rumen are metabolized or transformed by microbes, hence nutrients should be preserved and made available in the small intestine. Encapsulation technology, which has been employed in a broad range of applications in various fields of science, can address this challenge and rejuvenate livestock nutrition research. The present review explores the importance of encapsulated nano material in livestock and poultry production.
