Abstract

The endocrine system plays an important role in regulating various physiological processes in animals, encompassing growth, reproduction, metabolism, immune response, and overall homeostasis. This review delves into the fundamental definition and profound significance of endocrine function in animals, shedding light on its complex mechanisms and the vital role it plays in maintaining health and optimizing various aspects of animal production.
