In comparison with other infectious diseases of dogs, parvovirus enteritis is quite common. The infection is periodically detected in animals in veterinary clinics. Observations have shown that unvaccinated puppies of 3-4 months are more often admitted to the clinic with parvovirus enteritis. In contrast to the 70 % rate indicated in the literature, the mortality rate among sick dogs reaches 50 to 93.3 %. Parvovirus enteritis can be treated with specific immune serums alongside symptomatic and pathogenetic therapies which increases the treatment efficiency up to 25 %. Additionally the combined use of immune serums and dexamethasone along with the described preparations – up to 50 %, which indicates the need for long-lasting use of glucocorticoids to increase adaptive functions of the body in dogs with parvovirus enteritis.

In recent years, in Armenia, meat has become more important than other food-producing directions of sheep breeding, which is due not only to lower costs and the demand for the domestic market but also to the export of many sheep from the republic. Consequently, foreign breeds of mutton, such as Dorper, Hisar, Romanov, Blanch Central Massif, etc., began to be imported and bred in Armenia due to their profitability. On October 20, 2021, Blanche sheep from the Central Massif was imported to the Balahovit ANAU experimental farm. A sheep was mated with a female weighing 80 % of the live weight of an adult queen, about 45-50 kg, and a male weighing 80-85 kg. There was an average or above-average fat level in the animals. Live weight, the amount of feed needed, the level of feed intake, the ability to adapt to weather conditions and reproductive performance were studied. Methods used in animal husbandry were used in the studies. When the animals were moved, they lost about 2.6 % of their weight during the initial period. However, it was restored within a short time. Females gained 365 g in March 2022, and males gained 450 g, which is an excellent indicator. A kilogram of weight gain costs 5.15 EFU. The pregnancy rate was 136 %, and the inter-calving period was 271-320 days, which made it possible to provide three births in two years.

In the field of agro-industry, the most attention is paid to the development of eco-friendly technologies, which allow to improve the efficiency of natural resources in sustainable agriculture, preserving the environment, as well as to obtain high-quality, environmentally friendly, and safe products. Currently, organic viticulture and biodynamic winemaking are rapidly developing and demanding areas of winemaking. In light of these factors, it makes sense to cultivate grape varieties that are resistant to cold, fungal diseases, and pests (in particular, the Charentsi variety). Under different conditions, the microbiological state, physicochemical parameters, organic acids content, and color characteristics of Charentsi grapes were examined. We studied the physicochemical parameters of wines made by using different methods. The possibility of making ecologically clean rosé wines from this grape variety was assessed, using it as a raw material.

Presents a modern approach to the agricultural industry, including horticulture, forestry, natural resources, and the environment, with emphasis on the basics of plant and animal production.

Agriscience Mechanics is an exciting new approach that connects important science principles with mechanical skills. This approach adds meaning and excitement to the traditional areas of agricultural mechanics. It is right in line with the expectations of agricultural industry. - Preface.

AgriScience Explorations, Second Edition is for you -- a student who is beginning to study agriculture. It uses approaches and content for grades 7 through 9. Photographs have been used to make your study more exciting. Many of these feature young people. This will help you see how you can be a part of today's agricultural industry. A modern approach to the agricultural industry is used in the book. Horticulture, forestry, natural resources, and the environment are included. Of course, the basics of plant and animal production are emphasized. The content is based on areas of science. The book has several chapters on being successful in agricultural education. It includes areas of personal development, such as leadership. - Preface.

This new Fifth Edition provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the agriculture industry. Updated photos and easy-to-understand text introduce students to a variety of interesting agriscience concepts and skills, including agriscience career clusters and pathways, how science is used in agriculture, real-world applications of agriscience, and what it means to be a professional in the agriscience industry. New chapters on leadership and student organizations such as FFA have been added with a focus on developing the traits that define a successful member of the agriscience community. Expanded coverage of genetics, biotechnology, food safety, entomology, and agricultural mechanics makes this edition a comprehensive learning tool for students interested in an agriscience career. - Back cover.
