Mass death of poultries observed in Fuzuli

Mass death of poultries was observed in several yards and villagers appealed to the veterinary service.

The death reasons are unknown. Besides, a lot of dead fowls were found in the water basins of the village, as well as in the ponds on the neutral strip on border with Iran.

State Veterinary Service press secretary Yolchu Khanveli told the APA they are unaware of the case and noted that they will investigate the fact. He said that bird flu virus was not found in this territory during initial monitoring. He also said the reasons of the poultries' death may be some other diseases.

H5N1 virus was found in the birds in one of the farms in the village Boyuk Bahmanli last year.
