Abstract: Nanotechnology deals with nano sized particles in atomic, molecular and supramolecular levels. This technology is used almost in all fields of life. The particular usage of nanotechnology in Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and food systems is important as it influences predominantly the Indian Economy. The usage of nanoparticles in poultry industry and the commonly used nanoparticles are silver, selenium, calcium phosphate, zinc, chromium, germanium, copper, gold and zirconium are reviewed in this article. The effect of nanoparticles on the performance of birds, egg production, gastro intestinal tract, blood parameters, organs, diseases, mineral contents in chicken, embryo development in chicken, use of disinfectant in hatchery and poultry processing plant and packaging materials used in poultry industry.
