Bird flu outbreaks are observed in a number of countries, including Italy, South Korea, Iraq, Iran, Russia, the UK, Afghanistan, China and others.
As many as 25 million chickens were killed in Iran alone to prevent the spread of the bird flu. Nevertheless, this threat continues to spread.
Earlier, Yolchu Hanveli, head of the press service of the State Veterinary Service under Azerbaijan’s Agriculture Ministry, told Trend that Azerbaijan has banned the imports of live poultry, poultry products, chickens and hatching eggs from Iran since spring last year.
