The rise in diseases is due to intensified farming practices, global animal movement, and climate change influencing disease transmission. Livestock insurance helps farmers recover financially by compensating for veterinary costs, income loss, and other expenses incurred from disease outbreaks. For instance, in August 2022, the World Organization for Animal Health reported that over 1.1 million pigs and 36,000 wild boars had been affected by African Swine Fever (ASF) since January 2020, resulting in significant animal losses. As a result, the increasing number of livestock diseases will drive the growth of the livestock insurance market.
