Nanotechnology of Veterinary Medicine and Livestock Production compiles the most impactful emerging research on the use of nanotechnology in animal sciences. These novel data, methods, and technologies will considerably improve animal health, welfare, production, and nutrition, and will have implications for the future of human health, disease control, and food safety. Authored by a renowned animal toxicologist, this book introduces the history of nanotechnology in animal science before delving into its interdisciplinary applications. Central chapters explore nanomaterials in animal disease treatment, nanovaccine development, nanotechnology in animal nutrition and production, and applications for antibiotic-based therapies. Concluding chapters summarize the risks of these novel technologies, their challenges, and their opportunities in various animal science sectors. This is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and animal scientists seeking information on cutting edge nano- and biotechnological advancements.

PK Gupta obtained his PhD in Toxicology and taught as Visiting Professor at both the University of Tennessee and West Virginia University in the United States before returning to India as Professor of Toxicology at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute. He is currently Director of the Toxicology Consulting Group and President of the Academy of Sciences for Animal Welfare. He has served as advisor to the World Health Organization, consultant to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and brings more than 50 years of expertise in animal toxicology to the project.
