Preparation of Targeted Delivery Materials and Their Application in Animal Production.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In livestock production, conventional nutrients and bioactive substances are susceptible to degradation during feed processing, storage, and gastrointestinal transit, resulting in low bioavailability and feed conversion efficiency. Targeted delivery technology, which utilizes carriers such as nanoparticles, microcapsules, and hydrogels, can protect these compounds from premature degradation, regulate their release kinetics, and achieve site-specific accumulation via various administration routes, including oral and injectable delivery. This paper introduces the main types of targeted delivery materials and their preparation methods: ionotropic gelation, emulsion solvent evaporation, and nanoprecipitation for nanoparticle fabrication; spray drying, orifice coagulation bath, ionic crosslinking, complex coacervation, and electrospinning for microcapsule production; and ionic crosslinking, gas shear-assisted ionic crosslinking, oil-in-water emulsion combined with calcium ion crosslinking, and enzymatic crosslinking for gel-based system synthesis. Evaluation methods are also described in detail, covering particle size and polydispersity index analysis, morphological characterization, in vitro simulated digestion, and in vivo fluorescence imaging. This paper reviews the applications of this technology in poultry, pigs, and ruminants, with emphasis on its roles in enhancing intestinal health, regulating immune responses, inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, and improving growth performance and product quality, aiming to provide theoretical references for the rational design and application of targeted delivery systems in precision animal nutrition and sustainable livestock production.
