Cwestiwn
Mae'r cwestiwn a'r ateb yn Saesneg gan nad oes fersiwn Gymraeg ar gael.
Will the Minister confirm how many herds in Wales have tested positive for bovine TB on more than one occasion in the last five years, and what the Welsh Government is doing to reduce this number?

1,029 of herds which experienced a TB breakdown subsequently suffered at least one more incident.
To help manage recurrent infection, bespoke action plans are developed by APHA vets working in consultation with the farmer.
In addition, farms experiencing a TB breakdown are eligible for a Cymorth TB visit. Cymorth TB is a programme funded by the Welsh Government which provides a fully funded specialist visit by a trained Official Veterinarian (OV) to farms affected by TB.
