Summary. Sable is one of the most valuable representatives of the fauna of Russia, and sable breeding is a truly domestic branch of fur farming, the primary task of which is to preserve and develop all its achievements. According to the results of many years of monitoring studies in fur farms of the Russian Federation, it was revealed that in the structure of diseases of sables 60% falls on enteritis, which brings significant economic damage to farms. Enteritis is one of the most common diseases of fur-bearing animals, the reason for this is probably the anatomical structure of the digestive system. Enteritis is characterized by inflammation of the intestine with subsequent functional disorders of motor and secretory activity. Young individuals are most susceptible to the disease. Bacterial etiology was established in 68%, viral - in 15%, mechanical enteritis - in 17% as a result of laboratory studies of biomaterial from sables with clinical signs of enteritis, received by the Department of Biotechnology of the Scientific Research Institute of Fur-Bearing Animal Breeding and Rabbit Breeding from Russian fur farms. The authors have compiled a scheme for the differential diagnosis of enteritis in sables, based on the analysis of epizootological data, a complex of clinical signs and pathological changes, as well as laboratory studies of pathological material. Species-specific signs (absence of pathological changes in the stomach and detection of ballooning cells in the histological examination of the small intestine), characteristic only for parvovirus enteritis, have been established..

Keywords: sable, parvovirus, enteritis, histology, pathological changes, ballooning cells, RHA, diagnostics, intestine, microbiology.
