The research on hormone packaged in very small size particles began to develop in recent years. Nanoparticles are defined as particulate dispersions or solid particles with a polymer used as a component of potential hormone carrier as effective drug because of their ability to circulate and to release in a controlled period in the body. This review describes a variety of methods, characteristics and applications of nanoparticles hormones usages for animals. In general, several studies indicated that the formation of the hormone nanoparticles using polymer accompanied by distributing a good and stable of molecular mass, can be used as a carrier component of hormones as well as considering the negative effect.
