Livestock insurance provides coverage against losses caused to the owner due to death of an animal, injury or other such related causes. While these policies are usually meant for standard farm animals such as horses, poultry, and cattle, they can also cover losses to exotic and aquatic animals. These policies pay to replace livestock that dies, has to be put down, or is stolen. This can apply to losses that happen while the livestock is on-site or in transport. Livestock insurance protects people from financial loss incurred due to the death of their cattle. The cost of cattle is high and their loss can force farmers to get into a debt cycle. With livestock insurance, farmers get comprehensive protection against livestock loss.
Surge in number of diseases in livestock animals including flu, ringworms, fever and others, has led to rise in purchase of livestock insurance among farmers and livestock owners. In addition, livestock insurance protects from unforeseen perils such as fire, smoke, earthquakes and others.
