The State Veterinary Service of Azerbaijan s Agriculture Ministry has held a monitoring mission due to the recently-spread information concerning massive bird deaths in the Village of Tazakand of Jalilabad District of Azerbaijan.
During the visits to the territory, analyses were taken to determine the reason of the bird deaths. The preliminary research showed that the reason of the deaths had been colibacteriosis, not bird flue.
Despite of this fact, a pathological material taken during the monitoring will be studied in the laboratory of the Veterinary Service, and the results of this study will be made public on November 9.
The State Service also points out that up to date, no bird death facts from bird flue have been detected on the territory of Azerbaijan.

The ban on fowling, selling, and eating wild birds in the country, as well as ban on importation of poultry and chicken foods from those countries where the cases on deaths from these disease that has been registered, still holds.
