According to him, the epizootic situation in Azerbaijan associated with anthrax, as well as other infectious diseases of livestock, is currently stable.

Noting that the causative agents of ulcers can live in the soil for centuries, Mr Khanvali said that preventive measures are being taken regularly to prevent animals from becoming infected with this and other dangerous diseases.
