Currently, insurance for cattle, small animals, horses, pigs and poultry is available to farmers throughout Kazakhstan with government support in the form of subsidizing the amount of the insurance premium in the amount of 80%. The entire insurance process takes place online on the Kezekte.kz platform. To access the online system, the farmer must have an electronic digital signature. Today, animal insurance is provided by such companies as IC Nomad Insurance JSC, IC Freedom Finance Insurance JSC and IC Amanat JSC. Animal and bird insurance provides insurance protection against the risk of infectious and especially dangerous diseases, accidents, and natural hazards, including floods, natural disasters, fire and theft. As part of insurance products, farmers can insure against the risks of their animals and birds both on the territory of their farm (regular coverage), as well as against the risks of outbreaks of particularly dangerous diseases on the territory of neighboring farms within a radius of 5 km (extended coverage). The size of the insurance rate depends on the number of insured animals and birds, the insurance territory, and ranges from 1.54% to 9.85% of the insured amount. The main condition of insurance is the mandatory registration of animals in the farm animal identification system (FAI). Also, there is a limitation on the number of insured livestock - this is insurance of at least 30 heads of animals and birds, with the exception of cattle, for which at least 10 heads are provided. Upon the occurrence of an insured event, the insurance payment is made in the amount of damage, minus the amount of the unconditional deductible and state compensation in case of seizure of animals. This year, as a result of illnesses and poisonings of 66 heads of cattle, insurance companies paid 37 million tenge. As practice has shown, the current insurance system in the agro-industrial complex guarantees coverage of losses in the event of adverse natural phenomena, including the death and illness of animals. This mechanism works successfully in favor of farmers.
