Cyhoeddais ym mis Rhagfyr fy mod wedi rhoi’r gorau i geisio’r brechlyn BCG Moch Daear ar gyfer brechu moch daear yng Nghymru yn sgil prinder byd eang o’r brechlyn. Roeddem bedair blynedd i mewn i brosiect pum mlynedd o fewn yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys a dwy flynedd i mewn i’r grant brechu moch daear ar draws Cymru.  

 Cafodd yr Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion ei chomisiynu i fodelu effeithiau posibl gwahanol drefniadau ar gyfer brechu moch daear ar TB gwartheg mewn moch daear a gwartheg, gan ddefnyddio terfynau a oedd yn benodol i’r Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys. Ystyriwyd lleoliadau ffermydd, maint buchesi a grwpiau cymdeithasol moch daear.

 Trwy’r gwaith modelu hwn nodwyd effaith debygol diffyg brechlyn BCG ar gyfer moch daear yn 2016 ar y prosiect brechu moch daear o fewn yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys. Mae’r gwaith yma bellach wedi’i gwblhau ac mae wedi’i gyhoeddi ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.

 Er nad yw’r flwyddyn olaf wedi’i chwblhau mae’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion wedi dod i’r casgliad y byddai pedair blynedd o frechu moch daear yn lleihau amlder TB mewn moch daear o fewn yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys. Dangosodd y gwaith modelu nad yw bwlch o flwyddyn ar ôl y bedwaredd flwyddyn ac ailddechrau brechu yn y chweched blwyddyn yn wahanol i frechu am 5 mlynedd yn olynol.

 Hoffwn ddiolch i’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion am gwblhau’r gwaith modelu a hoffwn ddiolch i’r tirfeddiannwyr o fewn yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys am eu cydweithrediad parhaus.

 Byddwn yn parhau i ymgynghori â’r diwydiant amaeth, cymunedau gwledig ehangach, y proffesiwn milfeddygol, Byrddau Dileu TB a Grŵp Cynghori’r Diwydiant o fewn yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys.

 Byddwn hefyd yn parhau i werthuso effaith pob ymyrraeth o fewn yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys, gan gynnwys brechu, rheoli a chadw golwg ar wartheg a’r mesurau bioddiogelwch manylach.

 Yn unol â’r arfer caiff adroddiad blynyddol yr Ardal Triniaeth Ddwys/Cymharu Gwartheg ei gyhoeddi yn yr haf.

In December I announced that due to a global shortage of the BCG vaccine, I had suspended sourcing of Badger\-BCG for vaccinating badgers in Wales.  We were 4 years into a 5 year project within the Intensive Action Area (IAA) and 2 years into the badger vaccination grant across Wales.  


The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) was commissioned to model simulations of the effect of different badger vaccination regimes on bovine TB in badgers and cattle, applying IAA\-specific parameters. These took into account farm locations, herd size and badger social groups.


This modelling identified the likely impact that the non\-availability of Badger\-BCG in 2016 would have on the badger vaccination project within the IAA. This work has now been delivered and has been published on the Welsh Government website.


APHA’s conclusion is that despite not being able to complete the final year, 4 years of badger vaccination would achieve a reduction in prevalence of TB in badgers in the IAA.  The modelling showed that a one year gap after year 4 and returning to vaccinate in year 6 is not different from vaccinating for 5 years consecutive years.


I am grateful to APHA for completing the modelling work and to landowners within the IAA for their continued co\-operation.


We will continue to consult with the agriculture industry, wider rural communities, veterinary profession, TB Eradication Boards, and the Industry Advisory Group in the Intensive Action Area.


We will continue to evaluate the impact of all interventions within the IAA, including vaccination, cattle surveillance and controls and the enhanced biosecurity measures.


As usual, the annual IAA / Comparison Cattle report will be published in the summer.
