Mae rhai o'r manteision sy'n gysylltiedig â dileu BVD yn cynnwys gwell iechyd a lles, gwell cynhyrchiant a gwell ffrwythlondeb. Gall dileu BVD leihau costau ac ôl troed carbon eich buches.

Very wise words from Phil.

The benefits of being BVD-free include increased cattle health, welfare, productivity and fertility. Eliminating BVD can reduce costs and the carbon footprint of your herd.

Mae dechrau ar y cam nesaf hwn o'r rhaglen dileu BVD yng Nghymru yn gam pwysig iawn. Hoffwn i gydnabod y gwaith hwn, sy'n cael ei arwain gan y diwydiant, ac sy'n cael ei ategu gan y ddeddfwriaeth newydd hon ar BVD.

Bovine Viral Diarrhoea is a viral disease that affects cattle; it can lead to abortion, infertility and compromised herd health.

On July 1, we’re introducing legislation which will facilitate an industry-led approach to eradicate BVD.
