The aim of this study was to study the epizootological status of Eimeria species distributed in domestic chickens in the Sharur district of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and to identify the main ecological factors affecting their spread. During the study, fecal samples were collected from various private farms and examined in the laboratory using the flotation method. As a result of the examinations, the following species were detected: E. tenella (38.2%), E. maxima (41.1%), E. acervulina (36.7%), E. necatrix, (32.3%), E. mitis (25.7%), E. praecox (21.3%) and E. brunetti (18.3%). It was determined that the level of invasion is closely related to seasonal changes and zones. The results obtained are of scientific and practical importance in terms of the development of poultry farming in the region and the improvement of measures to combat Eimeria.
