In 1930-1932 he was a postgraduate student of the All-Union Institute of Animal Husbandry, a student of the prominent geneticist-breeder A.S. Serebrovsky. In 1956 he was elected a corresponding member of VASKhNIL.

The main works of Aghabeyli are related to the genetics and selection of buffaloes. He was the first to develop the doctrine of buffalo breeding, including genetics and selection of buffaloes, a scientific method for assessing their constitution, breeding techniques, fattening, artificial insemination, immunogenesis, embryogenesis and ecology. Aghabeyli also drew up plans for breeding work and detailed instructions for grading buffalo. Under the guidance of the scientist, a new breed of buffaloes "Caucasian" was bred and the first monographs and textbooks on genetics and selection of buffaloes in the USSR were published.[3][4][5]А.А., Агабейли (1967).
