Abstract:

A promising composite material is proposed to reduce the endogenous and exogenous contamination of chicken eggs with pathogenic microflora during their formation and storage. It is based on hybrid biocompatible and biodegradable silica/polyacrylamide nanocarriers containing small silver nanoparticles (dav=2.4±1.0 nm) that are orally administered to laying hens with drinking water. The features of the formation of nanosilver in hybrid carriers by borohydride reduction of a silver salt at its various concentrations in an aqueous solution have been studied. An interesting effect of the sharp appearance of the second surface plasmon resonance band in the UV-Vis spectra of a silver salt/hybrid mixture at a high salt concentration was found. This was explained by sharp structural changes in the hybrid carriers caused by the simultaneous growth of many AgNPs in them. It was assumed that the intensive growth of many AgNPs in one hybrid particle was accompanied by detachment of the grafted PAAm chains from the SiO2 surface due to the breaking of hydrogen bonds. The change in the state of the composite material under the influence of the pH of the solution, the concentration of nanoparticles, the presence of NaCl (as in a “physiological solution”), and visible light was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, potentiometric titration, and TEM. Nanosilver in carriers showed high stability with respect to most of these factors. The influence of the composite material on the clinical state of laying hens and important parameters of their eggs and blood was studied when it was administered orally with drinking water three times every 10 days at doses of 0.2 and 0.4 mg per chicken per day. A striking effect of selective endogenous accumulation of silver in eggshells has been revealed. This confirmed the penetration of the nanosilver composite into the circulatory system of chickens by passing through the digestive tract, absorption through the intestinal epithelium and further transport into the tissues of the chickens, including the oviducts, where protein and eggshell are formed. Such penetration did not cause a toxic effect on the body of laying hens.

Key words: nanosilver composite material, silica/polyacrylamide nanocarriers, structure and stability, laying hens, parameters of chicken eggs and blood.
