From animal pandemics to windstorms and wildfires, threats to livestock – and the livelihoods they support – are increasing.
WTW’s Livestock team helps farmers, breeders, food producers and owners of working animals understand, quantify and transfer their risks, providing access to global insurance markets and specialist risk analytics.
What can be insured by livestock insurance?
- Government notifiable diseases
- All risks mortality (death) cover
- Government slaughter or non-government slaughter options
- Theft of livestock
- Loss or injury due to fire, flood, lightning or windstorm
- Infertility of breeding stock
- Loss or injury during transit
- Loss of income

Who is this for?
We work with a wide range of private individuals and commercial operations, including cattle and dairy farmers, pig farmers and breeders, poultry egg or broiler farms, alpaca and deer herds, zoos, aquariums, exotic animal breeders, safari parks, security dog owners and beekeepers.
Benefits of cover
- Livestock insurance can protect your balance sheet against the devastating impact of disease and mortality, and associated supply chain and price volatility.
- Insurers settle claims on market value unless the policy terms extend to agreed value for lost, injured or sick animals.
- We can advise you on how to reduce and mitigate your risks to reduce the cost of incidents
