Nanotechnology is the manipulation and use of materials and devices at the scale of atoms and molecules. This is the scale at which the basic functions of the biological world operate and materials of this size display unusual physical and chemical properties which are attributed to an increase in surface area compared to volume as particles get smaller and also to the grip of weird quantum effects at the atomic scale. Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding area of research with huge potential in many sectors, ranging from healthcare to electronics. In medicine, it promises to revolutionize drug delivery, gene therapy, diagnostics, and many areas of research, development and clinical application. Nanotechnology will sure change the present scenario of the science and technology completely. Futuristic view of nanotechnology in the field of veterinary sciences is more focused in the present review. The role of nanotechnology in diagnosis, treatment, animal nutrition and veterinary public health were discussed.
