Abstract

Hormones play a vital role in animal life processes. It is produced by the endocrine glands and it circulates through the blood. This has a profound effect on the animals as a Whole. There are animals that depend on alone just to survive. Animal growth, metabolic actions, fertility, and behaviors are controlled by Hormone. Therefore, the article will help us explain how hormones cause changes in the behaviour, growth, and metabolism of animals. Selective hormones have a focus in our study: Mammary gland hormone, thyroid hormone, and sex hormone. This will aim to understand how on those hormones influence animal organism activities, such as body function and growth. This research paper hypothesizes that hormone levels will remain constant in healthy animals. Hormones can be managed, but there have side effects if animals are not kept at the correct hormone level. It is important to continuously investigate how hormones regulate and maintain important functions in animals and effects of hormone imbalances on animal health
