 General Aspects

 

We suggest to provide in a first step “All risks mortality” covers against illness and accident on a facultative basis.

In our opinion it would be hazardous to implement in this stage a loss of profit insurance for this business line.

 

As already mentioned, we would be prepared to support you in the livestock reinsurance under the following conditions:

 

Cover: Death and emergency slaughtering caused by:

-       Accident

-       Illness

-       Fire & Lightning

-       Subsidence and Landslide

-       Windstorm

-       Flood

 

Deductible:      5-7% of TSI per farm and per event (depending on the premiums rate)

 

Exclusions:     -   All epidemics mentioned under "list A and list B diseases" by the OIE (Office International des Epizooties).

See also: http://www.oie.int/

-   Destruction, confiscation, nationalisation, requisition, or quarantine by order of any government, public or local authority, or any person or body having jurisdiction.
