The Livestock farms will be able to take out livestock insurance benefits when the farms face losses destroyed by animal infection diseases, according to the provisions of the Animal Health and Livestock Development Amendment Law. The State Administration Council has enacted this law on January 15.
According to the original law section 22, the Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department can issue endorsement certificate when a farmer or an organization carrying out livestock breeding apply for compensation for loss or damage, indemnity or aid due to losses of animal infectious disease. But according to the amended law the applicant may get not only compensation or aid but also insurance fee.
The amendment law also stipulated that the person or organization wishing to operate animal gathering or protection camps shall apply for a permit to operate the businesses to the Head of the Township Department under the prescribed criteria.
In addition, the person or organization wishing to operate domestic production, processing or sale for livestock farming, pedigree animal farming, incubating, beekeeping, or animals, animal products, genetically modified bioproducts, feedstuffs, animal medicines, slaughtering houses or butchery businesses shall apply for registration of relevant types or works to the head of township department under the prescribed criteria.
