This is the same strain of the disease confirmed at a turkey farm in Lincolnshire on Friday (16th December) and has been reported in wild, captive or domestic birds in many European countries, the Middle East and North Africa.

The duck, a wigeon, was found dead and submitted for testing. This morning it has been confirmed it tested positive for the Highly Pathogenic H5N8 strain of the avian influenza virus.

The confirmation of the disease in this wild bird follows the introduction of a Prevention Zone in Wales on the 6th December, which requires all keepers of poultry and other captive birds to keep their birds indoors, or take appropriate steps to keep them separate, and protect them, from wild birds.

Earlier this week steps were taken to further protect poultry and captive birds by introducing a temporary suspension on gatherings of poultry.

The Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths said:


> “The finding of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N8 in a wild duck in Llanelli follows reports of the disease in Lincolnshire and across Europe. This finding is not unexpected and follows calls for bird keepers to be more vigilant for signs of the disease. It is likely that more cases will be confirmed. 
> 
> “There have been no reports of human infection from the H5N8 strain and the risk to human health is very low. The Food Standards Agency has also confirmed it is safe to eat poultry meat, such as turkey, goose and chicken.”

The Chief Veterinary Officer, Christianne Glossop, said:


> “This finding serves to remind us all of the risk of infection. The Prevention Zone and temporary suspension on gathering of poultry remain in place. It is also important that bird keepers practice the very highest levels of biosecurity. Even when birds are housed, there remains a risk of infection and keepers of poultry and other captive birds should ensure every effort is made to prevent contact with wild birds. The movement of poultry should be minimized, and clothing and equipment should always be disinfected.”

To initially strengthen the understanding of the presence of H5N8 in wild bird populations in a dynamically changing situation, the reporting thresholds for wild bird surveillance has been reduced  to a list of the specified species known to be infected in Europe.

Members of the public are encouraged to report dead wild waterfowl (swans, geese or ducks) or gulls, or five or more dead wild birds of other species in the same location, to the APHA helpline on 03459 335577\.

If you are concerned about the health of your birds you should seek advice from your veterinary surgeon. If you suspect that your birds are showing signs of the disease you should immediately report it to your local Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) office. 

Poultry keepers, including those with fewer than 50 birds, are encouraged to provide details of their flocks to the Poultry Register. This will ensure they can be contacted immediately in the event of an avian disease outbreak so that they can take action to protect their flock at the earliest opportunity.

Dyma’r un straen o’r clefyd a gafwyd ar fferm dyrcwn yn Lincolnshire ddydd Gwener (16 Rhagfyr) ac a gafwyd mewn adar domestig, gwyllt a chaeth yn Ewrop, y Dwyrain Canol a Gogledd Affrica. 

Cafwyd hyd i’r chwiwell yn farw a chafodd profion eu cynnal arni.  Cafwyd cadarnhad bore yma bod straen H5N8 Pathogenig Iawn feirws ffliw’r adar arni. 

Mae cael hyd i’r clefyd mewn aderyn gwyllt yn dod yn sgil cyhoeddi ar 6 Rhagfyr bod Cymru gyfan yn Barth Atal, sy’n golygu bod pawb sy’n cadw dofednod ac adar caeth eraill yn gorfod cadw eu hadar dan do neu gymryd camau priodol i’w cadw nhw ac adar gwyllt ar wahân a’u hamddiffyn rhag adar gwyllt. 

Yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, cymerwyd camau pellach i amddiffyn dofednod ac adar caeth trwy gyhoeddi gwaharddiad dros dro ar grynhoi dofednod. 

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig, Lesley Griffiths: 


> “Ar ôl yr adroddiadau am straen H5N8 Ffliw’r Adar yn Llincolnshire ac Ewrop, rydym wedi cael hyd iddo nawr mewn hwyaden wyllt yn Llanelli.  Nid yw hyn yn ein synnu ac mae’n dilyn apêl ar geidwaid adar i gadw golwg am arwyddion y clefyd.  Mae’n debyg y gwelwn ragor o achosion eto. 
> 
> “Nid oes adroddiadau wedi dod i’n clyw bod pobl wedi cael eu heintio gan straen H5N8 ac ychydig iawn o berygl sydd i iechyd pobl.  Mae’r Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd wedi cadarnhau hefyd ei bod yn sâff bwyta cig dofednod fel tyrcwn, gwyddau ac ieir.”

Meddai’r Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol, Christianne Glossop:

“Mae hyn yn ein hatgoffa ni oll am beryglon heintiau.  Mae’r Parth Atal a’r gwaharddiad dros dro ar grynhoi dofednod yn parhau mewn grym.  Mae’n bwysig iawn hefyd bod ceidwaid adar yn cadw at y mesurau bioddiogelwch llymaf posib.  Hyd yn oed os yw’r adar dan do, mae’r perygl o gael eu heintio’n un byw a dylai ceidwaid dofednod ac adar caeth eraill ofalu eu bod yn gwneud popeth posibl i rwystro’u hadar rhag dod i gysylltiad ag adar gwyllt.  Dylid osgoi symud dofednod a dylech wastad diheintio dillad ac offer.” 

Er mwyn deall yn well bresenoldeb H5N8 mewn adar gwyllt mewn sefyllfa gyfnewidiol iawn, mae’r trothwyon adrodd o ran cadw gwyliadwriaeth ar adar gwyllt wedi’u cyfyngu i restr o rywogaethau penodol y gwyddys eu bod wedi’u heintio yn Ewrop. 

Rydym yn annog y cyhoedd i ffonio llinell gymorth APHA 03459 335577 os gwelan nhw unrhyw adar dŵr gwyllt marw (hwyaid, gwyddau neu elyrch) neu wylanod marw, neu bump neu fwy o adar gwyllt eraill o rywogaethau eraill yn farw yn yr un lle. 

Os ydych yn poeni am iechyd eich adar, holwch eich milfeddyg.  Os ydych chi’n credu bod eich adar yn dangos arwyddion y clefyd, dylech gysylltu ar unwaith â swyddfa leol Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion (APHA). 

Rydyn ni’n pwyso ar geidwaid dofednod, gan gynnwys y rheini sydd â llai na 50 o adar, i roi manylion eu heidiau i’r Gofrestr Dofednod.  Drwy wneud, byddwn yn gallu cysylltu â nhw ar unwaith pe bai’r clefyd yn taro er mwyn iddyn nhw allu cymryd y camau angenrheidiol yn syth i ddiogelu’u hadar.
