  • Cattle fertilisation centres, insuring ‘in calf’ cows following destruction on economic or humanitarian grounds. Can be extended to include increased husbandry costs incurred as a result of a government movement restriction order preventing
  • Bull artificial insemination centres, insuring young bulls which are purchased and have been performance tested. Coverage for all risks of mortality, named government slaughter diseases, infertility and semen suitability.
  • Dairy risks providing restricted mortality coverage and loss of income due to the contamination of milk.

Indemnity is calculated per litre of milk lost for named period or point of replacement whichever the earlier.
