Product Details

Poultry farm insurance offers rural business owners’ coverage for the unique risks associated with farm work. If an accident happens on your farm, or property becomes damaged or destroyed, poultry farm insurance can get you back on your feet. Work with boilers, heavy machinery, and other farm equipment can be dangerous and sometimes lead to accidents. Without coverage, a farm owner could face financial ruin as a result.

Depending on the type of farm operation, farm owners will need to choose the most appropriate options. Following is a description of the product details.

• Premises Liability – Anyone who rents or owns a farm, as well as the lands and fields, can insure farm buildings such as barns, sheds, storage houses, pens, and other dwellings.
• Operational Liability – This policy is necessary if there is any risk of bodily injury or property damage being caused by general farming operations.
• Machinery and Equipment Breakdown – When farming equipment breaks down, the resulting loss can be financially devastating. Coverage not only helps pay for replacements and repairs, but also for general maintenance.
• Animal Liability – The health of poultry is one of the most critical aspects of the farm business. Poultry insurance covers farmers for all the typical risks associated with chicken farming.
• Product Liability – In the event of a quality control issue, product liability coverage can help you recover losses resulting from product recalls and contaminated products.
• Pollution Liability – Accidents such as fuel spills, chemical spills, and the emission of pollution from farm equipment can potentially result in property damage or interrupt business operations. Including pollution liability coverage will cover clean-up costs, bodily injury, and property damage.

Depending on the primary focus of your farming business, different coverage options may be more appropriate than others. Although general farming insurance products are available, poultry farmers are advised to choose a type of coverage specifically suited to their farm. Our Duliban agents can help you find the best policies during a personal consultation.
