The Poultry Association of Mato Grosso (Amav-MT) has secured insurance coverage for 300 million meat poultry and 10.5 million laying birds against avian influenza and Newcastle disease. The insurance, worth R $ 24 million, which includes R $ 22 million for indemnity and R $ 2 million for outbreak containment, is the first of its kind in the global poultry sector. The insurance will provide peace of mind for investments in health protection and is expected to be beneficial in market negotiations and the establishment of new poultry facilities.
