Janashakthi launches livestock insurance policy

Janashakthi Insurance launched another revolutionary policy with the launch of Janashakthi Livestock Insurance Policy.

Private owners, dairy farms, co-operatives, corporate dairies and livestock breeders across Sri Lanka will have access to Janashakthi's Livestock Insurance Policy through which they can insure their cattle, goats and poultry.

Cattle include milch cows, buffaloes and stud bulls, while poultry includes layers, broilers and hatchery birds. Insurance cover will also be given to indigenous crossbreds and exotic cattle.

The scope of covers in this policy include the loss sustained as a result of death or permanent disablement due to accidents (including fire, lightning and flood) and various kinds of diseases that affect livestock including cattle, goats and poultry.

Janashakthi Insurance General Manager Dayalanie Abeygunawardena said, "We are happy to launch this revolutionary policy and thereby be of help to the national livestock industry. The uncertainties of this industry are immense and thus peace of mind is furthest from one's mind. Livestock is most often very vulnerable since accidents and disease can strike at any time thus resulting in great losses".
