Ar 16 Tachwedd, cadarnhaodd Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol y DU bod achos o ffliw adar pathogenig iawn wedi taro fferm bridio hwyaid yn Nwyrain Swydd Efrog.  Pan gafwyd gwybod gyntaf am yr achos ar 14 Tachwedd, aeth Swyddfa Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol y DU ati i greu parth cyfyngiadau o gwmpas y fferm sy’n gwahardd symud dofednod a chynnych dofednod yn y parth heb ganiatâd.  Mae’r 6,000 o hwyaid sydd ar y fferm yn cael eu difa trwy ddulliau dyngarol heddiw.  Mae labordy’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion yn Weybridge wedi cyhoeddi heddiw mai teip H5N8 yw’r clefyd ac mae ymchwiliad wedi dechrau i weld o ble ddaeth yr achos ac a oes cysylltiad rhyngddo â’r achosion yn yr Iseldiroedd a’r Almaen.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio’n glos â Defra ac â’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion ac mae Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol Cymru a’i swyddogion yn cyfrannu’n llawn at y trefniadau argyfwng a roddwyd ar waith pan sylweddolwyd bod amheuon cryf y gallai fod yn achos o ffliw’r adar.  Mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymuno â’r llywodraethau datganoledig eraill yn y cyfarfodydd dyddiol sy’n cael eu trefnu gan Defra.  Mae gan bob un o wledydd y DU gynlluniau wrth gefn i rwystro clefydau rhag lledaenu.  Cyhoeddwyd fersiwn ddiweddaraf Cynllun Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer Clefydau Anifeiliaid Egsotig ym mis Hydref (gweler y ddolen isod) ar ôl dysgu’r gwersi a ddysgwyd yn yr ymarferiad Prydeinig diwethaf, Walnut, a gynhaliwyd ym mis Mehefin 2013\.

Mae Public Health England gyda Defra yn cymryd camau i sicrhau bod y rheini sy’n gweithio ar y fferm a phobl yr Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion yn ddiogel.  Mae Public Health England wedi dweud bod y risg i iechyd y cyhoedd yn fach iawn.

Mae allforion dofednod a chynnyrch dofednod wedi’u gwahardd ac mae swyddogion yn ymchwilio i’r effaith bosibl ar y diwydiant dofednod yng Nghymru.

Rwy’n cadw golwg barcud ar y sefyllfa ac rwy’n cael adroddiadau rheolaidd amdani.  Mae gan lywodraethau’r DU hanes o reoli a diddymu clefydau adar yn llwyddiannus ac rwy’n hyderus bod gennyf innau’r cynlluniau angenrheidiol i ddelio â sefyllfa debyg yng Nghymru.

On 16 November the Chief Veterinary Officer for the UK confirmed an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza on a duck breeding farm in East Yorkshire.    The Office of the UK’s Chief Veterinary Officer restricted the premises when the case was first reported to them on the 14 November and a restriction zone has been put in place around the farm, which bans all unlicensed movements of all poultry and poultry products in the zone.  The 6000 ducks on the farm are being humanely destroyed today. The Animal and Plant Health Agency laboratory in Weybridge has confirmed today that the exact strain of the disease is H5N8 and investigations are ongoing to determine the source of the outbreak and whether it is linked to the outbreaks in the Netherlands and Germany.  


The Welsh Government has been working closely with Defra and the Animal and Plant Health Agency since the case was first reported and the CVO Wales and officials remain fully engaged in the contingency planning arrangements that were triggered when the case was identified as a serious suspect for avian disease.  Welsh Government officials are involved in daily meetings convened by Defra and with the devolved governments. All UK administrations have effective contingency plans in place aimed at preventing the spread of disease in an outbreak. The latest version of the Welsh Government’s Contingency Plan for Exotic Animal Diseases was published in October (see link below) having been updated with lessons learned from the last UK exercise, Walnut, held in June 2013\. 


Public Health England working with Defra have taken action to ensure that those working on the farm and those from the Animal and Plant Health Agency involved in the disease control are protected.  Public Health England has stated that the risk to public health is very low.


Export of poultry and poultry products has been banned and officials are investigating the potential impact on the poultry industry in Wales.


I am maintaining a close interest in the outbreak and I am being regularly updated.  Government has a good track record of controlling and eliminating avian disease outbreaks in the UK and I am confident that we have the necessary plans in place to deal with a similar event in Wales.
