Pharm Nanotechnol. 2021;9(1):26-35. doi: 10.2174/2211738508666200910101504.

Abstract

Nanotechnology has been a rapidly expanding area of research with huge potential in many sectors, including animal healthcare. It promises to revolutionize drug and vaccine delivery, diagnostics, and theranostics, which has become an important tool in personalized medicine by integrating therapeutics and diagnostics. Nanotechnology has also been used successfully in animal nutrition. In this review, the application of nanotechnology in animal health will be reviewed with its pros and cons.

Keywords: Animal health; drug delivery; feeding; nanoparticulate systems; production; theranostics; vaccine delivery.
