Amwins unit Equisure adds livestock insurance program

Equisure, part of Amwins Group Inc.’s underwriting division, said Thursday it has launched a livestock insurance program.

The program offers animal mortality, disease and transit coverage for several types of livestock-related risks.

Eligible accounts include: dairy farms; beef feedlots; cattle, sheep, llamas and zorses; poultry and swine operations; zoos, aquariums and safari parks, including giant pandas, penguins, dolphins and exotic fish; canines/working dogs; grazing cattle; genetic facilities and embryos; semen storage and transport; livestock auction markets and packers; high-valued individual animals for breeding or showing; and transit of livestock by air, sea or road.
