Nanotechnology is one of the most advanced technologies used in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, and the food industry. Due to the special properties of nanomaterials and their dimensions - approximately 1 to 100 nanometers - they are constantly developing and expanding. Nanomaterials can contribute to the sustainability of the ruminant nutrition sector by improving the quantity and quality of products and producing safe, healthy, and functional products. Many methods have been developed to enhance the composition and quality of food. However, one of the cheapest and most effective is the use of feed additives. Many studies have shown that micro and macro elements in the form of nanoparticles can be better absorbed by animals, which improves the quality of the products obtained from them. Previously, these minerals were synthesized chemically, which led to their release into the environment. Recently, the production of nanoparticles from plant sources - called green synthesis - has become important. This process includes plant extracts that contain sugars, polyphenols, terpenoids, proteins, and more. The waste products of these phytochemicals are highly biodegradable and therefore have no adverse effects on the environment. Due to reports of an increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, many countries are updating laws and regulations to end antibiotics in the livestock industry. Many reports suggest that nanoparticles could be a good candidate in this field. There is currently a lack of valid and cost-effective diagnostic tests to detect diseases in breeding animals. Biosensor technologies can solve these problems by developing innovative diagnostic tools to quickly detect important health threats in the livestock and agricultural sectors. Also, creating new foods or supplements by encapsulation or nanoemulsion, achieving the slow release of some compounds, or obtaining healthier foods by improving the product's organoleptic properties will lead to more product innovation. Although nanotechnology offers many advantages, like other innovations, there are disadvantages and risks associated with its use. Risk assessment should be considered because the biokinetic and toxicity characteristics of the target tissues may vary depending on the type of nanomaterials used.
