The project will be testing a key proposed element of the Sustainable Farming Scheme, which is the Animal Health Improvement Cycle (AHIC).

As part of the project a small group of farm animal vets will deliver regular preventative medicine veterinary visits to achieve improvements in the health and productivity of livestock on farms.

An induction day for the first cohort of vets to deliver the pilot will take place later this week. 

Each vet will work closely with a small number of farms to identify areas where livestock performance can be improved, and actions agreed.  These actions will be reviewed to see where improvements have taken place.

Twenty\-two vets have signed up to the pilot, with each one aiming to recruit three farms in the project.

Rural Affairs Minister Lesley Griffiths said: 


> “The proposed Sustainable Farming Scheme allows us to design support for farmers which can make a real difference.  Closer working with vets can improve animal health by promoting preventative action, which as well as improving animal welfare will improve a farm’s productivity.  The results of this pilot project will be very valuable as we move towards the Sustainable Farming scheme in 2025\.”

The Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales, Richard Irvine said: 


> “I’m really pleased to see this pilot is now underway. This is an exciting project in the field of livestock veterinary medicine.  Vets have been involved in the design of the project which provides real potential to improve animal health and welfare.  The AHIC also has the potential to promote sustainability in the livestock sector through partnership working between local veterinarians and farmers, driving a reduced carbon footprint and further strengthening antimicrobial stewardship.”

The project is managed by Welsh Lamb and Beef Producers (WLBP) and includes a project team with a number of vets and scientists with wide ranging expertise in animal health.

Project Director Don Thomas from WLBP said: 


> ‘We are delighted to be delivering this crucial project, which will help farmers in Wales drive animal health, welfare and productivity on their farms. The pilot project will ensure the AHIC scheme is deliverable and can be scaled up for rollout nationally from 2025 delivering the expected benefits.”

 Lessons from the pilot project will be captured to inform training to be made available to all livestock vets in Wales.

Bydd y prosiect yn profi un o brif elfennau arfaethedig y Cynllun Ffermio Cynaliadwy, sef y Cylch Gwella Iechyd Anifeiliaid.

Fel rhan o'r prosiect, bydd grŵp bach o filfeddygon anifeiliaid fferm yn cynnal ymweliadau rheolaidd i ddarparu meddyginiaeth ataliol i wella iechyd a chynhyrchiant da byw ar ffermydd.

Bydd diwrnod sefydlu ar gyfer y garfan gyntaf o filfeddygon i gyflwyno'r peilot yn cael ei gynnal yn ddiweddarach yr wythnos hon. 

Bydd pob milfeddyg yn gweithio'n agos gyda nifer bach o ffermydd i nodi ardaloedd lle gellir gwella perfformiad da byw, a chytuno ar gamau gweithredu.  Bydd y camau hyn yn cael eu hadolygu i weld lle y gellir gweld gwelliannau.

Mae dau ar hugain o filfeddygon wedi ymuno â'r peilot gyda phob un yn gobeithio recriwtio tair fferm yn y prosiect.

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig, Lesley Griffiths: 


> "Mae'r Cynllun Ffermio Cynaliadwy arfaethedig yn ein galluogi i ddylunio cymorth i ffermwyr a all wneud gwahaniaeth go iawn.  Gall gweithio'n agosach gyda milfeddygon wella iechyd anifeiliaid drwy gymryd camau ataliol a fydd, yn ogystal â gwella lles anifeiliaid, yn gwneud eich fferm yn fwy cynhyrchiol.  Bydd canlyniadau'r prosiect peilot hwn yn werthfawr iawn wrth inni symud tuag at y cynllun Ffermio Cynaliadwy yn 2025\."

Dywedodd Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol Cymru, Richard Irvine: 


> "Rwy'n falch iawn o weld bod y peilot hwn bellach ar waith. Mae hwn yn brosiect cyffrous ym maes meddygaeth filfeddygol da byw.  Mae milfeddygon wedi cyfrannu at siâp y prosiect sy'n cynnig wir botensial i wella iechyd a lles anifeiliaid.  Mae gan y Cylch Gwella Iechyd Anifeiliaid hefyd y potensial i hyrwyddo cynaliadwyedd y sector da byw drwy annog partneriaeth rhwng milfeddygon lleol a ffermwyr i leihau eu hôl troed carbon ac i ddatblygu ymhellach eu gwaith o ran ymwrthedd i wrthfiotigau."

Cynhyrchwyr Cig Oen a Chig Eidion Cymru (WLBP) sy’n rheoli’r prosiect ac mae'n cynnwys tîm prosiect gyda nifer o filfeddygon a gwyddonwyr ag arbenigedd eang ym maes iechyd anifeiliaid.

Dywedodd Cyfarwyddwr y Prosiect Don Thomas o WLBP: 


> "Rydym yn falch iawn o fod yn cyflawni'r prosiect hanfodol hwn, a fydd yn helpu ffermwyr yng Nghymru i ysgogi iechyd, lles a chynhyrchiant anifeiliaid ar eu ffermydd. Bydd y prosiect peilot yn sicrhau bod modd cyflawni cynllun y Cylch Gwella Iechyd Anifeiliaid a'i ehangu i'w gyflwyno'n genedlaethol o 2025 ymlaen gan gyflawni'r buddion disgwyliedig."

Bydd gwersi o'r prosiect peilot yn cael eu casglu i lywio hyfforddiant a fydd ar gael i bob milfeddyg da byw yng Nghymru.
