This book on Research Methodology in Veterinary and Animal Sciences represents a synthesis of traditional veterinary and animal science expertise and modern computational intelligence including Generative AI. The conceptual framework, selection of pedagogical topics, and logical flow were meticulously curated through a reasonable review of foundational veterinary literature and research methodology.

While generative AI (Google Gemini) was utilized to draft initial explanations and structure complex data, every chapter has been manually reviewed, edited, and verified by the author for clarity, scientific accuracy, clinical relevance, and adherence to academic standards. The author maintains full responsibility for the content, interpretations, and conclusions presented herein.
