Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of extracts prepared from the broiler chicken faecal excreta Gallus gallus domesticus. The UV-Visible spectra showed an absorption wavelength 242.50 nm which corresponds to the absorbance of silver nanoparticles. The XRD pattern showed different intensity peaks in the whole of 2? values ranging from 10-800 for the silver nanoparticles. The FTIR spectrum of synthesized silver nanoparticles showed Alkyl halides, Esters, Nitrogroups, Amides, Aldehydes, Alkenes and Phenols and Alcohols. SEM micrographs of nanoparticle obtained in the filtrate showed that AgNPs are spherical shape. EDAX results, a peak of silver that confirmed the presence of elemental silver in the suspension. The other spectral signals such as Cl, C and O were also noticed in the EDAX spectrum.
