We did something different than going to see a monastery.
Went to a veterinary office/lab.
Interesting to see the work done. Learnt some new terminology related to animal diseases and changed my mind about thinking animals in Armenia being very healthy. We have our share of animal illnesses.
Also, learn that 'sibirakhd' is anthrax and not mad cow disease.
The lab has the best experts in town but lacks in technology: among other things needs more microscopes, thermostats, and stain (dye) for slides.
The only equipment purchased in the last decade is a fridge.
On the bright side, the building was renovated.
