Benefits
Livestock in a building
Animals housed inside a building are covered for accidental death and theft.
Livestock in transit
Cover for accidental death of animals caused by vehicle, ship or aircraft accidents.
Vet costs
Up to $500 for any one event, for treatment to prevent the death of your specified livestock.
Removal and disposal costs
We cover the cost of disposing of dead animals, up to $2,500 for any one event accepted under this policy.
FMG’s Livestock policy covers your animals, including cattle, sheep, poultry, alpacas, deer, goats, llamas, and pigs.
This policy has wider cover available if you choose to specify animals, or a lower level of blanket cover is available for whole herds.
You can choose to cover individually specified livestock for accidental death and theft, accidental death in transit and poisoning resulting in death. We consider the age of the animal when providing this cover type.
We cover your livestock housed in a building or covered yard, as well as out in the open air. For animals kept in the open air, FMG’s Livestock policy covers accidental death caused by defined weather events, fire, explosion, stock worrying and electrocution. The full list of these events can be found in the policy wording.
