Summary:

Due to a number of crises in the animal feed
sector, which caused substantial damage in
livestock supply chains, the issue aroused of
increasing the liability insurance coverage for
animal feed producers. In this framework, the
objective of this project is to carry out a
quantitative risk analysis for wet feed producers
in the Netherlands, which could subsequently be
used as a basis for (re)designing liability
insurance schemes. The sensitivity analyses showed that the size of
farms supplied with wet feed and the number of
days in which contaminated wet feed is delivered
are key variables in determining the eventual size
of damage.
