Bluetongue does not affect people or food safety. The virus is primarily transmitted by midge bites and affects cattle, goats, sheep and camelids such as llamas, and midges are most active between April and November.

Bluetongue is a notifiable disease, so any suspect cases must be reported to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

Further information on the clinical signs of Bluetongue and action to be taken can be found at Bluetongue virus (Btv) \| GOV.WALES.

The impacts on susceptible animals can vary greatly – some show no clinical signs or effects at all, for others it can cause productivity issues such as reduced milk yield or reproductive losses, while in the most severe cases can be fatal for infected animals.

Farmers can help prevent the disease by:

* responsibly source livestock
* practicing good biosecurity (on Gov.Wales) on your premises
* remaining vigilant

Keepers considering importing animals or biological products, for example germinal products, from BTV affected countries or out of disease control zones should consult their vet to check if this is permitted, and on the risks of doing so. This should always be done before deciding to import or move animals.

All businesses should have a contingency plan for both responding to disease outbreaks on their premises and if they might be in a disease control zone. Contingency plans should include details of where animals are normally slaughtered to check that abattoir is designated.

Richard Irvine, Wales’ Chief Veterinary Officer, said: 


> As we enter this period where animals are more at risk from Bluetongue from midges, I would urge all keepers to take action now to protect their herds and flocks to keep disease out, be aware of how to spot Bluetongue and report any suspected cases immediately.
> 
> Wales has never had a case of Bluetongue – but – with past cases in England and in Europe we are encouraging people to be vigilant and prepared for Bluetongue to strike again.

Your local Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) office should be contacted immediately on 0300 303 8268 if you suspect Bluetongue in your animals. APHA vets will investigate suspected cases.

Further information and resources on the current bluetongue situation are also available on the Ruminant Health and Welfare website.

Nid yw'n effeithio ar bobl na diogelwch bwyd. Mae'r feirws yn cael ei drosglwyddo'n bennaf gan bigiadau gwybed ac mae'n effeithio ar wartheg, geifr, defaid a chamelod fel lamas, ac mae gwybed yn fwyaf amlwg rhwng Ebrill a Thachwedd.

Mae'r Tafod Glas yn glefyd hysbysadwy, felly dylai pobl roi gwybod i’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion ar unwaith os oes ganddyn nhw unrhyw amheuon.

Mae rhagor o wybodaeth am arwyddion clinigol y tafod glas a'r camau i'w cymryd ar gael ar Feirws y Tafod Glas (BTV) \| LLYW.CYMRU).

Gall yr effeithiau ar anifeiliaid bregus amrywio'n fawr – nid yw rhai yn dangos unrhyw arwyddion clinigol nac effeithiau o gwbl, i eraill gall achosi problemau cynhyrchiant fel llai o gynnyrch llaeth neu golledion wrth atgenhedlu, tra yn yr achosion mwyaf difrifol gall fod yn angheuol i anifeiliaid heintiedig.

Gall ffermwyr helpu i atal y clefyd trwy:

* sicrhau bod da byw yn dod o ffynonellau cyfrifol
* ‌cadw at fesurau bioddiogelwch (ar Llyw.Cymru) llym ar eich safle
* parhau i fod yn wyliadwrus

Dylai ceidwaid sy'n ystyried mewnforio anifeiliaid neu gynhyrchion biolegol, er enghraifft plasm cenhedlu, o wledydd y mae BTV yn effeithio arnynt neu o barthau rheoli clefydau yymgynghori â'u milfeddyg i wirio a oes ganddynt hawl i wneud hyn, ac ar y risgiau o wneud hynny. Dylid gwneud hyn bob amser cyn penderfynu mewnforio neu symud anifeiliaid.

Dylai fod gan bob busnes gynllun wrth gefn ar gyfer ymateb i achosion o glefydau ar eu safle ac os gallent fod mewn ardal rheoli clefydau. Dylai cynlluniau wrth gefn gynnwys manylion lle mae anifeiliaid yn cael eu lladd fel arfer i wirio bod lladd\-dy wedi'i ddynodi.

Dywedodd Richard Irvine, Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol Cymru: 


> Wrth i ni fynd i mewn i'r cyfnod hwn lle mae anifeiliaid mewn mwy o berygl o'r Tafod Glas o wybed, byddwn yn annog pob ceidwad i weithredu nawr i ddiogelu eu buchesi a’u diadellau i gadw clefydau allan, i fod yn ymwybodol sut i adnabod y Tafod Glas \- ac i roi gwybod am unrhyw amheuaeth o achosion ar unwaith.
> 
> Dyw Cymru erioed wedi cael achos o'r Tafod Glas \- ond \- gydag achosion yn y gorffennol yn Lloegr ac yn Ewrop rydyn ni'n annog pobl i fod yn wyliadwrus ac i baratoi ar gyfer sefyllfa ble y gallai’r Tafod Glas godi eto.

Os oes gennych unrhyw amheuon fod y tafod glas ar eich anifeiliaid, cysylltwch â'ch swyddfa Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion (APHA) leol ar 0300 303 8268 ar unwaith. Bydd milfeddygon yr Asiantaeth yn archwilio yr achosion a amheuir.

Mae rhagor o wybodaeth ac adnoddau ar y sefyllfa bresennol o ran y tafod glas hefyd ar gael ar wefan Ruminant Health and Welfare.
