Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine potential effects of silver nanoparticles on growth and development of chicken embryo. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized from Candida glabrata and the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized. Fertilized eggs were divided into 3 groups and injected inovo; group I (control) – no treated; group II (placebo-1) – physiological saline with 1 injection; group III (Ag) -hydrocolloid of Ag nanoparticles – with 1 injection; group. Nanoparticles of Ag did not influence chicken embryo development. Injection inovo with physiological saline increased activity of asparagine transferase in blood serum and caused hypertrophy of hepatocytes. Injection of nanoparticles Ag showed tendency to restore this negative effect.
