I prepared a detailed DVM-level assignment in Word format on “Automated Estrus Detection Using Activity Monitors and Pedometers” with:
  • structured academic sections
  • flowchart-style process representation (text flow format)
  • comparative tables
  • practical implementation steps
  • limitations and future scope
  • references section format
I can now generate the .docx file directly in your workspace and share a download link.
Before I finalize, do you want me to include:
  1. Cover page with your name/roll no./college
  2. Plagiarism-safe paraphrased style (ready for submission)
  3. Diagram images embedded (if yes, I’ll use relevant veterinary/monitoring visuals)
