Solar Poultry Houses

Poultry Insurance is a must for any poultry farmer that has a poultry house with more than 500 chickens. With the advent of bird flu and other chicken diseases, a chicken farmer would be careless not to have a good poultry insurance policy. Your flock of chickens should be insured against disease and fire. – at least. Your poultry house should be insured – the structure and you should have poultry equipment insurance. poultry illnesses can spread within a matter of hours through a chicken house – killing your birds before you can do anything – whether this is your fault or not makes no difference to your poultry insurance. You can insure your poultry and your poultry equipment in South Africa – poultry insurance brokers are no common – they will need to visit you poultry farm and assess your needs – how big your chicken house is, how many chickens you have, what poultry equipment needs insurance etc.

You should also carry poultry insurance for when your chickens are in transit – especially if the catching company has no insurance for poultry. Another poultry insurance policy should cover your day old chicks when you are farming broilers – the chicken supplier – no matter what breed of chicken, should have insurance – or a policy of resupplying dead or dying day old chicks when they are delivered to your poultry farm. Their poultry insurance will not cover your chickens once they have left the farm – make sure you check every chick before allowing them to leave! Small steel structures should also be insured – they tend to blow away in high winds!
