A single disease outbreak or drought event can wipe out an entire herd — and years of investment in one season. Livestock insurance protects farmers against: accidental death of animals, death from disease and illness (named disease cover available), drought and starvation cover (for pastoralists), theft of livestock, and emergency slaughter costs. Available for cattle, dairy herds, goats, sheep, camels, and poultry. Government-subsidised livestock insurance options are available for qualifying smallholder farmers through the Kenya Livestock Insurance Programme (KLIP). Protect your herd before the season begins.
