On 6 December 2016, I declared the whole of Wales an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone. I did this in response to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N8 outbreaks across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. This was a precautionary measure to minimise the risk of poultry and other captive birds being infected by wild birds. The declaration was made under Article 6 of the Avian Influenza and Influenza of Avian Origin in Mammals (Wales) (No. 2\) Order 2006\.  

  

The Prevention Zone requires all keepers of poultry and other captive birds to keep their birds indoors or take all appropriate steps to keep them separate from wild birds and to enhance biosecurity on their premises. Similar measures were introduced in England and Scotland, ensuring a co\-ordinated approach across Great Britain. Northern Ireland declared an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone on 23 December 2016\.  

  

Following confirmation of HPAI on a commercial turkey farm in Lincolnshire on 16 December 2017, a temporary suspension on gatherings of poultry in Wales, England and Scotland was introduced. That suspension remains in place.  

  

The first, and to date only, case of HPAI in domestic birds in Wales, was confirmed on 3 January 2017 in a small back yard flock of chickens and ducks on a premises near Pontyberem, Carmarthenshire. The premises were immediately put under restriction and the birds were subsequently humanely culled. A 3 km Protection Zone (PZ) and 10 km Surveillance Zone (SZ) was put in place around the premises to prevent the spread of disease.  

  

On 4 January I extended the period of the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone to end on 28 February. I did this in response to the Carmarthenshire and Lincolnshire cases in poultry and following findings of HPAI in dead wild birds across Great Britain throughout December 2016, including a wild duck in Carmarthenshire. England and Scotland also extended their Avian Influenza Prevention Zones to end on 28 February.  

  

Completion of the required disease control measures enabled the PZ in Carmarthenshire to be merged with the SZ on 26 January, which was removed on 4 February. Since the Carmarthenshire case there have been 6 further cases in Great Britain, all in England (a total of 8 cases to date), and further findings of HPAI in dead wild birds, including in Wales.  Further cases are likely.  

  

The current level of risk of HPAI to poultry and other captive birds from wild birds is unlikely to change before the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone is scheduled to end on 28 February. In view of the ongoing risk, and following consultation with industry representatives and expert advice, I have taken the decision to further extend the period of the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone until 30 April 2017\. The new declaration will apply from 00:01 on 28 February 2017 and there are some important changes to the measures that will apply within the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone.  

  

All keepers of poultry and other captive birds will be legally required to complete a biosecurity self assessment of their premises, using a form provided by the Welsh Government. Keepers can select one or more from three options; continue to keep their birds housed, keep them totally separate from wild birds or allow their birds to have controlled access to outside areas, subject to the introduction of additional risk mitigation measures.  

  

It will be the responsibility of the keeper to determine the option(s) most applicable to their circumstances to protect their birds. The completed self assessment forms must be retained and produced to relevant inspection or enforcement officers upon request.  

  

I consider the whole of Wales to be at risk, which is why the measures I will be introducing on 28 February will apply to the whole country. My decision to put in place a further Avian Influenza Prevention Zone and the actions and control measures put in place to date continue to be proportionate. Activities of highest risk have been targeted to minimise impact on international trade, the economy and the sustainability of the free\-range poultry industry within Wales.  

  

I remind all keepers of poultry and other captive birds of the need to comply with the existing Avian Influenza Prevention Zone and required measures. I am making everyone aware of my intentions now so that keepers have the time to complete the required self assessment and prepare themselves for the new measures which will be in place from the 28 February.  

  

Keepers of poultry and other captive birds must remain vigilant for signs of disease. Avian influenza is a notifiable disease and any suspicion should be reported immediately to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). Even when birds are housed, there remains a risk of infection and keepers should practice the highest levels of biosecurity.  

  

I continue to strongly encourage all poultry keepers, even those with fewer than 50 birds, to provide their details to the Poultry Register. This will ensure they can be contacted immediately, via email or text update, in an avian disease outbreak, enabling them to protect their flock at the earliest opportunity.  

  

Information on the requirements of the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone, guidance and latest developements are all available on the Welsh Government website:

Ar 6 Rhagfyr 2016, cyhoeddais fod Cymru gyfan yn Barth Atal Ffliw’r Adar.  Gwnes hynny fel ymateb i’r achosion o’r Ffliw Adar Pathogenig Iawn H5N8 a gafwyd ar draws Ewrop, Gogledd Affrica a’r Dwyrain Canol.  Mesur rhagofalus oedd hwn i leihau’r risg i ddofednod ac adar caeth gael eu heintio gan adar gwyllt.  Gwnaed y datganiad o dan Erthygl 6 Gorchymyn Ffliw’r Adar a Ffliw sy’n Deillio o Adar mewn Mamaliaid (Cymru) (Rhif 2\) 2006   
  
Mewn Parth Atal, rhaid i geidwaid dofednod ac adar caeth eraill gadw eu hadar dan do neu gymryd pob cam priodol i’w cadw nhw ac adar gwyllt ar wahân, a gwella’r mesurau bioddiogelwch ar eu heiddo.  Cyflwynwyd mesurau tebyg yn Lloegr a’r Alban, gan sicrhau bod yr un drefn mewn grym ledled Prydain.  Cyhoeddodd Gogledd Iwerddon ddatganiad ar Barth Atal Ffliw’r Adar ar 23 Rhagfyr 2016\.    
  
Ar ôl cadarnhad bod achos o’r Ffliw Adar wedi taro fferm dyrcwn fasnachol yn Lincolnshire ar 16 Rhagfyr 2016, cyhoeddwyd gwaharddiad dros dro ar grynhoi dofednod yng Nghymru, Lloegr a’r Alban.  Mae’r gwaharddiad hwn yn parhau mewn grym.   
  
Hyd yma, yr unig achos o Ffliw’r Adar Pathogenig Iawn a gafwyd mewn adar domestig yng Nghymru yw’r hwnnw a gadarnhawyd ar 3 Ionawr 2017 mewn haid o ieir a hwyaid mewn gardd gefn ym Mhont\-y\-berem, Sir Gaerfyrddin.  Gosodwyd cyfyngiadau ar y safle yn syth a chafodd yr adar eu difa.  Gosodwyd Parth Amddiffyn 3km a Pharth Gwyliadwriaeth 10km o gwmpas y safle i rwystro’r clefyd rhag lledaenu.   
  
Ar 4 Ionawr, estynnais gyfnod Parth Atal Ffliw’r Adar iddo ddod i ben ar 28 Chwefror.  Gwnes hynny fel ymateb i’r achosion yn Sir Gâr a Lincolnshire mewn dofednod ac ar ôl cael hyd i’r Ffliw Adar Pathogenig Iawn mwn adar gwyllt marw ledled Prydain gydol mis Rhagfyr 2016, gan gynnwys chwiwell yn Sir Gaerfyrddin.  Estynnodd Lloegr a’r Alban eu Parthau Atal hwythau tan 28 Chwefror.    
  
Yn sgil cynnal y mesurau rheoli gofynnol yn y Parth Amddiffyn yn Sir Gâr, penderfynwyd ei uno â’r Parth Gwyliadwriaeth ar 26 Ionawr, a gafodd ei ddiddymu ar 4 Chwefror.  Ers yr achos yn Sir Gâr, cafwyd 6 achos pellach ym Mhrydain, bob un ohonyn nhw yn Lloegr (cyfanswm o 8 achos hyd yma) ac achosion eraill mewn adar gwyllt marw, gan gynnwys rhai yng Nghymru.  Y disgwyl yw y gwelir mwy.   
  
Nid yw lefel y risg i adar gwyllt drosglwyddo’r Ffliw Adar Pathogenig Iawn i ddofednod ac adar caeth eraill yn debygol o newid cyn y daw Parth Atal Ffliw’r Adar i ben ar 28 Chwefror. O ystyried y perygl hwnnw ac ar ôl holi barn cynrychiolwyr y diwydiant ac arbenigwyr, rwyf wedi penderfynu estyn cyfnod Parth Atal Ffliw’r Adar tan 30 Ebrill 2017\.  Daw’r datganiad newydd i rym o 00\.01 ar 28 Chwefror 2017 a cheir rhai newidiadau pwysig i’r mesurau fydd mewn grym yn y Parth Atal.   
  
Bydd gofyn cyfreithiol ar i bawb sy’n cadw dofednod ac adar caeth eraill gynnal hunan\-asesiad o gyflwr bioddiogelwch eu safle, gan ddefnyddio ffurflen a ddarperir gan Lywodraeth Cymru.  Caiff ceidwaid ddewis un neu fwy o dri opsiwn: parhau i gadw eu hadar dan do, eu cadw nhw’n gwbl ar wahân i adar gwyllt neu rhoi rhyddid cyfyngedig i’w hadar allu mynd allan cyn belled ag y cedwir at fesurau ychwanegol i leihau’r risg.   
  
Cyfrifoldeb y ceidwad fydd penderfynu pa opsiwn neu opsiynau fyddai fwyaf priodol iddyn nhw o ran amddiffyn eu hadar.  Rhaid cadw copi o’r ffurflen hunan\-asesu a bydd gofyn ei dangos pan fydd swyddogion archwilio neu orfodi’n gofyn amdani.   
  
Yn fy marn i, mae Cymru gyfan mewn perygl a dyna’r rheswm pam y bydd y mesurau y byddaf yn eu cyflwyno ar 28 Chwefror yn effeithio ar y wlad gyfan.  Mae fy mhenderfyniad i gyhoeddi Parth Atal Ffliw’r Adar arall a’r mesurau gweithredu a rheoli rwyf wedi’u datgan hyd yma yn gymesur.  Rwyf wedi targedu’r gweithgareddau uchaf eu risg er mwyn lleihau’r effaith ar fasnach ryngwladol, yr economi a chynaliadwyedd y diwydiant dofednod maes yng Nghymru.   
  
Rwy’n atgoffa pob ceidwad dofednod ac adar caeth eraill o’r angen i gadw at fesurau Parth Atal Ffliw’r Adar a’r mesurau gofynnol eraill. Rwyf am i bawb fod yn ymwybodol o’m bwriadau nawr fel bod gan geidwaid yr amser i gynnal yr hunan\-asesiad a pharatoi’u hunain ar gyfer y mesurau newydd a ddaw i rym o 28 Chwefror. 

 Rhaid i geidwaid dofednod ac adar caeth eraill fod yn effro i arwyddion y clefyd.  Mae Ffliw’r Adar yn glefyd hysbysadwy ac os ydych yn credu bod posibilrwydd y gallai’r clefyd fod ar eich adar, cysylltwch ar unwaith â’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion (APHA).  Mae perygl i hyd yn oed adar dan do gael eu heintio a dylai ceidwad gynnal y lefelau bioddiogelwch uchaf.   
  
Rwy’n parhau i bwyso’n gryf ar geidwaid dofednod, hyd yn oed y rheini sydd â llai na 50 o adar, i roi eu manylion i’r Gofrestrfa Dofednod.  Bydd modd wedyn gysylltu â nhw’n syth, trwy e\-bost neu neges destun, os bydd achos o glefyd adar yn taro, er mwyn iddyn nhw allu cymryd camau buan i amddiffyn eu haid.   
  
Os hoffech wybodaeth am amodau Parth Atal Ffliw Adar, arweiniad a hanes y datblygiadau diweddaraf, ewch i wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.
