Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the deadliest threats to global public health. This book focuses on dynamics in the landscape of AMR while informing about the latest technologies and strategies to mitigate it. The menace of AMR in different niches, routes of penetration across various domains, socio-economic impact, and the need for a 'One Health' approach in mitigating AMR has been emphasized. Factors involved in AMR, underlying mechanisms, and pharmacometrics in developing antimicrobials are highlighted. Emphasis is given to emerging technologies that are sustainable, scalable, and applicable to the global community, such as big data analytics, bioactive agents, phage therapy, and nanotechnology. The book also explores current and alternative treatment strategies to combat AMR, emphasizing the use of nanoparticles to target pathogens and as a viable alternative to antibiotics.

This book provides insights into the use of advanced nanobiomaterials in an age-old domain of animal husbandry. As per a 2020 estimate, approximately 40% of the overall agricultural GDP is attributed to global livestock production, thereby highlighting its importance. Owing to its challenges such as diseases, quality, safety, and care, there is a need for efficient management and use of advanced integrated technologies. Here, nanobiomaterials offer promising avenues for innovation and advancement in the realm of animal husbandry. This dynamic field has garnered attention due to its potential to revolutionize various aspects of animal production and veterinary care, such as diagnosis, drug and nutrient delivery, genome-assisted breeding, gene therapy, and quality enhancement. Owing to the available research and continuous advancements, the future of nanobiomaterials in animal husbandry appears bright, promising a host of innovative solutions to enhance animal well-being, productivity, and overall veterinary care. The significance of the topics covered in this book lies in its potential to revolutionize multiple facets of animal production, veterinary care, and agriculture. Nanotechnology’s capacity to manipulate materials at the nanoscale offers unparalleled opportunities to tackle pressing challenges in animal husbandry. The utilization of nanobiomaterials in animal breeding could yield breakthroughs in diagnosing and treating reproductive disorders, enhancing animal reproductive efficiency and breeding programs, with direct implications for livestock industry productivity and sustainability. We highlight the use of nanomaterials in veterinary medicine, drug delivery disease management, and gene therapy. Additionally, nanoparticles as nutrient delivery systems in animal feed have the potential to substantially enhance nutrient absorption and utilization, contributing to better animal health, growth, and overall production efficiency. The antimicrobial properties of nanoparticles could curtail pathogen dissemination in animal populations, fostering improved animal welfare and food safety. Here, we apprise the reader about the available technologies that are intricately useful in animal husbandry.
