Livestock insurance is a type of insurance coverage designed to protect livestock owners, such as farmers, ranchers, and livestock producers, against financial losses resulting from the death, theft, or disease-related incidents involving their animals.

This insurance involves options such as; Mortality Insurance which provides coverage for the death of livestock due to specified perils, such as accidents, illness, disease, natural disasters, or humane destruction, Theft Insurance which protects against losses resulting from the theft or disappearance of livestock, Disease Insurance which covers losses attributable to disease outbreaks or epidemics affecting livestock herds.
