Preface
Nanotechnology is advancing at a fast pace with its ramifications felt in almost every field, ranging from materials science to food, forensic, agriculture, and life sciences, including biotechnology and medicine. Nanotechnology is already being harnessed to address many of the key problems in animal biotechnology. It is expected that next decade nanotechnology would have tremendous growth in the applications and product developments in the area of animal biotechnology (e.g. animal nutrition, health, disease diagnosis, and drug delivery). Nanotechnology provides the ability to manipulate the materials at atomic and molecular levels and also arrange atom-by-atom on a scale of ∼1–100 nm to create, new materials and devices with fundamentally new functions and properties arising due to their small scale. These properties are significantly different than their bulk counterparts. Nanobiotechnology, on the other hand, is a recent field that arose due to the concourse of nanot
