Livestock insurance provides coverage against losses caused to the owner due to death of an animal, injury or other such related causes. While these policies are usually meant for standard farm animals such as horses, poultry, and cattle, they can also cover losses to exotic and aquatic animals. These policies pay to replace livestock that dies, has to be put down, or is stolen. This can apply to losses that happen while the livestock is on-site or in transport. Livestock insurance protects people from financial loss incurred due to the death of their cattle. The cost of cattle is high and their loss can force farmers to get into a debt cycle. With livestock insurance, farmers get comprehensive protection against livestock loss.
Surge in number of diseases in livestock animals including flu, ringworms, fever and others, has led to rise in purchase of livestock insurance among farmers and livestock owners.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Livestock Insurance Market," the livestock insurance market size was valued at $2.79 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $5.77 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2031.Many government organizations offer various schemes to offer livestock insurance for poor farmers in the developing countries where livestock, cattle farming, and agriculture are considered an important factor for the growth of the economy. For instance, National Livestock Mission (NLM) launched in financial year 2014-15 seeks to ensure quantitative and qualitative improvement in livestock production systems and capacity building of all stakeholders in India. The scheme is being implemented as a sub scheme of White Revolution - Rashtriya Pashudhan Vikas Yojana since April 2019. Under the scheme, the crossbred and high yielding cattle and buffaloes are being insured at maximum of their current market price. The premium of the insurance is subsidized to the tune of 50%. The entire cost of the subsidy is being borne by the central government of India. The benefit of subsidy is being provided to a maximum of two animals per beneficiary for a policy of maximum of three years. The scheme is being implemented in all states except Goa through the State Livestock Development Boards of respective states. The scheme is proposed to be extended to 100 old districts covered during pilot period and more species of livestock including indigenous cattle, yak & mithun.
On the basis of application, the dairy segment is the highest growing segment. This is attributed to the fact that the cost of dairy farming is high and their losses can force farmers to go into debts. With the help of livestock insurance, farmers can have comprehensive protection against dairy animal damage. Moreover, many small and medium sized farms ensure their animals are under the livestock insurance market trends.
Based on region, North America attained the highest livestock insurance market growth in 2021. This is attributed to the fact that the adoption for livestock price insurance has widely increased in the region as farmers and ranchers in the region strive to sustain & enhance animal byproducts such as beef meat, eggs, and dairy products by availing prominent livestock insurance coverage. In addition, insurers are developing existing offerings & providing knowledge to livestock owners to enhance maximum safety of the livestock by providing medical claims, coverage for accidental deaths and permanent disability.
