Anti-epidemic measures implemented within the framework of state order in the Republic of Armenia

Taking into account the potential economic damage caused by infectious diseases, the state, by its means, is taking measures to prevent more common and dangerous infectious diseases.

All actions aimed at preventing infectious diseases are called anti-epidemic measures.

Table 1 outlines the anti-epidemic action plan for different types of livestock in the framework of the state order in the Republic of Armenia.

Measures taken for some of the presented diseases are based on the degree of insecurity of the region with the disease.

The anti-epidemic action plan implemented in the framework of the state order in the Republic of Armenia:

Note. The State Veterinary Inspectorate reserves the right to make additions and changes to the above list following the epidemic status of contagious animal diseases caused in the Republic of Armenia, in the amount allocated by the state budget of the Republic of Armenia.

Heads of large, medium and small farms should pay particular attention to vaccination against infectious diseases and other measures. 

Remember, it is more economically beneficial to prevent the disease than to cure it.

Below is information on vaccines, vaccination methods, and diagnostic measures for some infectious diseases of CPDs implemented within the framework of the State Order.

Vaccination of the whole quantity is one of the preventive measures of the vaccine. There are several vaccines. We mainly use anti-vaccine polyvalent formaldehyde vaccines (Armenian and Russian) in types A, O and Asia-1.

Vaccination of fewer than 2 months old calves is not permitted, but in case of fatal spread of aphthae epizooticae, the calves can also be infected. In case of fatal spread of aphthae epizooticae in the region for preventing the infection of the calves under two months, the anti-vaccine serum should be injected, and only 10-14 days later to vaccinate them. Immunity forms in the body after 21 days and is maintained for 6 months.

Concentrated hydroxyl aluminum formaldehyde vaccine is used for immunization against gangraena emphysematosa. The vaccination should be done 2 weeks before grazing.

Blood testing is carried out twice a year within the framework of the state order against brucellosis in the Republic of Armenia.

To prevent tuberculosis in the Republic of Armenia, a systematic diagnostic examination of animals is conducted twice a year within the framework of the state order.

To diagnose the disease on time, bovine animals over the age of 2 months are injected with tuberculosis in the 1/3 segment of the neck. The test is performed after 72 hours. The result is considered positive (the animal is considered to be sick) if the injection site is larger than 3 cm in the cheek, which has no definite borderline, is leaky and painful.

To prevent anthrax in the Republic of Armenia the vaccination is implemented within the framework of the state order.

For active immunization, anti-anthrax inactivated dry and fluid vaccines are used. The calves are first vaccinated at the age of 3 months and re-vaccinated after 6 months, then as adults at least once a year.

For pasteurellosis vaccination of cattle, buffaloes, and sheep the anti-pasteurellosis semi-liquid vaccine is used. Vaccination is done twice. There is also an emulsified vaccine, which is injected once on both sides of the neck at a dose of 1.5-milliliters, and the immunity is maintained for 1 year. But within the framework of the state order, the latter is not provided.
