"Croeso i wefan y Ganolfan Datblygu Llaeth (DDC). Nod y DDC yw hwyluso datblygiad Diwydiant Llaeth Cymru trwy wasanaeth trosglwyddo technoleg rhadweithiol, gwybodaeth ymchwil farchnad ynghyd a darparu cyngor arbenigol. Ers 2002, mae dros 5115 o bobl wedi mynychu 103 o digwyddiadau sydd wedi eu lleoli dros Gymru gyfan, ar fferm neu yn lleoliadau addas eraill, gyda pwnciau yn armwyio o dorri traed i ddiwygiad y CAP i rheoli TB. Gobeithio bydd y wefan hon yn darparu gwybodaeth gwerthfawr â chysylltiadau a fydd yn eich galluogi i ddatblygu llaeth llwyddianus."

Er y caiff ei ystyried yn aml yn orchwyl eilaidd, mae magu lloi yn un o’r tasgau anoddaf ar fferm laeth.
Wrth i lawer o ffermydd llaeth fynd yn fwy, mae llafur yn dal i fod yn un o’r adnoddau pwysicaf ar fferm llaeth

| Fertiliser prices (£/tonne) bagged | October 08 | September 08 | % diff. September- October | October 07 | % diff. 07-08 |
| 20:10:10 | 433 | 435 | -0.5% | 177 | +144.6% |
| 34.5% N AN | 376 | 376 | nc | 166 | +126.5% |
| 46% N Urea prills | 450 | 450 | nc | 191 | +135.6% |
Domestic Nitrogen prices remained stable between September and October, leaving the AN price at £376/tonne and Urea prills at £450/tonne. Despite prices remaining stable in October, they are still more than double those achieved in October 07, when AN was at £166/tonne and Urea prills were at 191/tonne.
However, according to industry sources, the price of urea fell dramatically on the global market in mid October from $800/tonne to $360/tonne. The fall was due to the global downturn with demand falling as we enter the end of the usage period and India tendering 1.5 million tonnes. However, industry experts expect that come the end of November when the India deal is concluded, urea prices could increase again.
However, the impact of this on European markets could be limited because deals are secured on a contractual basis and the nitrate business is separated from urea by a time lag.
The average price for most blended fertilisers fell slightly between September and October. The exceptions were 15:15:20 which increased £30/tonne to average at £561/tonne and 25:05:05 which increased £3/tonne to average at £392/tonne. This is likely to be due to the pressure on potassium prices after the value of potash rose.
The average price of 20:10:10 fell £2/tonne between September and October to an average of £433/tonne. However it still remains well over double the average price of a year ago when it was £177/tonne.
