Nawr yw’r adeg o'r flwyddyn pan fydd y perygl o’r #TafodGlas yn codi, hoffwn atgoffa ceidwaid da byw i fod yn wyliadwrus bob amser, dod o hyd i stoc yn gyfrifol ac ymarfer y lefelau uchaf o hylendid a bioddiogelwch.

Cadwch y Tafod Glas allan o Gymru.

Now we’re at the time of year when the risk of #Bluetongue rises, I’d like to remind livestock keepers to always remain vigilant, source stock responsibly & practice the highest levels of hygiene and biosecurity.

Let's continue to work together to #KeepBluetongueOut of Wales.

O 1 Mehefin 2017 bydd yn anghyfreithlon i fusnesau werthu neu gyflenwi pob fêp un-tro.
Mae’r gwaharddiad yn cynnwys pob fêp ‘tafladwy’ na fedrir eu hail-lenwi ac yn defnyddio batri.
Mae hyn yn weithredol at werthiant ar-lein a mewn siopau.
