Telir iawndal i berchenogion anifeiliaid am wartheg a gaiff eu lladd oherwydd TB, a hynny ar sail gwerth y gwartheg dan sylw ar y farchnad.   

Wrth brisio, pennir gwerth anifail ar y farchnad ar sail y pris y gellid yn rhesymol ei gael am yr anifail hwnnw pe bai ar werth ar y farchnad agored a phe na bai’n dioddef o TB neu wedi dod i gysylltiad â TB.    

Ar ôl pryderon am y posibilrwydd bod rhai gwartheg yn cael eu prisio fel pe baent yn gyflo, a hwythau’n wag, aeth yr Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion (APHA) a’r Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd (ASB) ati i gasglu tystiolaeth dros gyfnod o 12 mis.  

Archwiliwyd cyfanswm o 7,418 o wartheg marw yr oedd eu perchennog wedi datgan eu bod yn gyflo, a gwelwyd, ar ôl i’r gwartheg hynny gael eu lladd, fod 2,817 ohonynt yn wag. Amcangyfrifir bod cyfanswm yr iawndal ychwanegol a dalwyd ar gyfer y rheini nad oeddent yn gyflo yn fwy na £459,000 dros gyfnod o 12 mis.  

Felly, mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi cyhoeddi y bydd yn rhaid cyflwyno prawf ysgrifenedig am Ddiagnosis o Feichiogrwydd (DF) o 1 Tachwedd 2018 ymlaen pan fydd y gwartheg hyn yn cael eu prisio. 

Bydd perchenogion gwartheg yn cael gwneud cais am DF, ar ffurf y cytunir arno, oddi wrth ei milfeddyg. Bydd modd cyflwyno’r prawf hwnnw pan fydd y gwartheg yn cael eu prisio, ar yr amod bod y DF wedi cael ei wneud yn ystod y tri mis (90 diwrnod) cyn dyddiad y prisio. Bydd hynny’n caniatáu i berchennog y gwartheg drefnu i’w anifeiliaid gael eu harchwilio cyn bod y prawf TB yn ofynnol er mwyn ceisio sicrhau cyn lleied o darfu ag y bo modd ar drefn arferol y fferm.   

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet:  


> “Mae’n gwbl briodol bod perchenogion gwartheg yn cael iawndal am wartheg sy’n cael eu lladd oherwydd eu bod yn dioddef o TB.  Ond wedi dweud hynny, roedd gennym bryderon fod rhai gwartheg yn cael eu prisio fel pe baent yn gyflo pan oedden nhw’n wag.  
> 
> “Mae’r astudiaeth gan APHA a’r ASB yn dangos bod hyn yn dipyn o broblem a dyna pam dwi’n cyflwyno newidiadau i’r trefniadau prisio a thalu ar gyfer gwartheg cyflo. Bydd yn ofynnol bellach gyflwyno prawf ysgrifenedig am Ddiagnosis o Feichiogrwydd pan gaiff y gwartheg eu prisio.  
> 
> “Bydd y newidiadau hyn yn dod i rym o 1 Tachwedd eleni ymlaen. Hoffwn annog pawb sy’n berchen ar wartheg i ymgyfarwyddo â’r trefniadau newydd hyn cyn iddyn nhw ddod i rym ac, os yw hynny’n briodol, dylen nhw gysylltu â’u Milfeddyg Swyddogol i drefnu Diagnosis o Feichiogrwydd."

Animal owners are paid compensation for cattle slaughtered because of TB, based on the market value of the cattle concerned.   

The valuation determines the market value of an animal based on the price the animal might reasonably obtain if it was for sale in the open market and was not affected or exposed to TB.

Following concerns that some cattle were potentially being valued as being in calf when they were not, a 12 month evidence gathering exercise was carried out by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

A total of 7,418 cattle, that were declared by their owner as being in calf were examined post mortem, of which 2,817 animals were found not to be in calf following slaughter.  The total amount of extra compensation paid for those not to be in calf is estimated as in excess of £459,000 over a 12 month period.

The Cabinet Secretary has therefore announced from 1 November 2018, written proof of Pregnancy Diagnosis (PD) will now be requested at valuation stage.

Cattle owners will be allowed to request PD evidence, in an agreed format, from their veterinarian that can be presented at valuation stage, provided the PD has been carried out within the previous three months (90 days) of the date of valuation.  This will allow the cattle owner to arrange for their animals to be examined before the TB test is due to minimise any disruption to normal farming routines.

The Cabinet Secretary said:  


> “Cattle owners are rightly paid compensation for cattle slaughtered because of TB.  However, we had concerns that some cattle were potentially being valued as in calf when they were not.
> 
> “The study by APHA and FSA shows that this is a real issue and that is why I am introducing changes to the valuation and payment of in\-calf cattle, with written proof of Pregnancy Diagnosis now being required at valuation stage.
> 
> “These changes will come into force from 1 November this year.  I urge all cattle owners to familiarise themselves with the new measures in advance of the changes being implemented and to contact their Official Veterinarian to arrange Pregnancy Diagnosis if appropriate.”
