Next Generation Nanochitosan: Applications in Animal Husbandry, Aquaculture and Food Conservation provides comprehensive and state-of-the-art-information on the application of nanochitosan for improving products, especially for the evaluation of biological active molecules, disease therapeutics, transport vehicle for DNA, targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, development of smart and high performance of fish, preservation of foods, tissue engineering, and improving the taste of aquatic and animal feeds as fish growth promoter. this book will be especially useful for industrial fisheries who deal with wild capture fishing and aquafarming and scientists and engineers working on post-capture processing stages. Details on the application of nanochitosan as an effective delivery of vaccines, hormones, vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, biological active constituents and their wider application for the protection and management of farm animals and fishes against disease-causing pathogens are provided. - Provides applications for the protection and management of farmed animal and fish against disease-causing pathogens - Includes relevant information on recent patents, commercialized products and innovative technologies on nanochitosan with industrial perspectives - Presents potential solutions for the bioremediation of wastewater, heavy metal polluted soils and water, petroleum hydrocarbon on polluted environment, pesticides, polluted water and heavily contaminated soil
