In January this year my predecessor announced that Welsh Government officials were working with Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA), British Veterinary Association (BVA) and the British Cattle Veterinary Association (BCVA) to explore how private vets could become more involved with breakdowns or cases of TB in their clients’ herds. This is a fresh approach to the issue of new and long\-standing breakdowns and I am delighted that the pilot project, which we have called Cymorth TB, will begin on 1 October.


It has been widely recognised that Official Veterinarians (OV’s) can provide a valuable resource and additional support to farmers, both during breakdowns and in the protection of Officially TB Free (OTF) farms against infection.


This pilot will extend support for farmers, providing better advice and guidance in order to increase understanding, encourage compliance and shorten breakdowns.


The pilot will be run on a voluntary basis in six defined areas across Wales until April 2014 and in the first instance concentrate on new breakdowns only. If successful, I expect the service to be rolled out nationally


Its key objectives are to minimise the impact of a breakdown, and to clear it up more quickly.


The 6 pilot areas are in:


* Anglesey
* Wrexham
* East Carmarthenshire
* Gower
* East Monmouthshire
* North Pembrokeshire


 


  

AHVLA currently manages and implements the bovine TB surveillance and testing system on behalf of Welsh Government and manages TB breakdowns in Wales.  I am grateful to all staff within AHVLA who have been involved in this work to date and  believe their support over the next 6 months  will prove crucial to the OV’s being able to provide this new and valuable additional resource in the fight against TB, both to AHVLA as our delivery partner and more importantly to farmers.

Ym mis Ionawr eleni, cyhoeddodd fy rhagflaenydd bod swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru’n gweithio gyda’r Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a'r Labordai Milfeddygol (AHVLA), Cymdeithas Milfeddygon Prydain (BVA) a Chymdeithas Milfeddygon Gwartheg Prydain (BCVA) i weld beth yn fwy y gallai milfeddygon ei wneud wrth ddelio ag achosion o TB ar ffermydd eu cleientiaid.  Mae hon yn ffordd newydd i ddelio â hen broblem TB neu achos newydd ar fferm, ac mae’n dda deall y bydd y prosiect peilot yn dechrau ar 1 Hydref.  Cymorth TB yw’n henw ar y peilot hwn.

Mae llawer o bobl yn cydnabod y gall Milfeddygon Swyddogol fod yn adnodd gwerthfawr a rhoi help ychwanegol i ffermwyr, hynny tra phery’r achos ei hun ac o ran diogelu ffermydd â statws swyddogol ‘Heb TB’ rhag y clefyd.

Bydd y peilot hwn yn rhoi mwy o help i ffermwyr, trwy roi arweiniad a chyngor gwell iddyn nhw i’w helpu i ddeall y clefyd yn well, eu hannog i gydymffurfio a byrhau achosion.

Bydd y peilot yn gynllun gwirfoddol ac yn cael ei gynnal mewn chwe ardal ledled Cymru tan fis Ebrill 2014\.  Yn y lle cyntaf, byddwn yn canolbwyntio ar achosion newydd yn unig.  Os bydd y peilot yn llwyddiannus, fy nisgwyl yw y caiff ei roi ar waith trwy weddill y wlad.

Ei brif amcanion yw lleihau effaith achosion o TB a’u clirio’n gynt.

Chwe ardal y peilot yw:  


* Ynys Môn
* Wrecsam
* Dwyrain Sir Gâr
* Bro Gŵyr
* Dwyrain Sir Fynwy
* Gogledd Sir Benfro

  
Yr AHVLA sy’n gyfrifol am reoli a chynnal system oruchwylio a phrofi TB ar hyn o bryd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru ac am reoli achosion o TB yng Nghymru.  Rwy’n ddiolchgar i holl staff yr AHVLA am eu gwaith ar hyn ac rwy’n credu y bydd eu cefnogaeth dros y 6 mis nesaf yn hanfodol i filfeddygon swyddogol allu darparu’r adnoddau newydd a gwerthfawr hwn yn y frwydr yn erbyn TB i’r AHVLA fel ein partner darparu ac yn bwysicach, i ffermwyr.
