We know you care about your flock. You work hard to ensure their health, safety and productivity and deserve to have the best insurance coverage possible.
Comprehensive coverage that meets your unique needs and local brokers who understand poultry operations. It’s what we have in common with you.
The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group recognizes the evolving needs of poultry operations. We are aware that all laying hens must be housed in an enriched cage or non-cage housing system in accordance with the NFACC Code by July 1, 2036. We understand the transition of Canada’s hens from conventional to enriched housing systems is a complex undertaking. In the event of a loss, you may be required to comply with the enhanced housing requirements immediately, instead of at a planned future date.
Insuring with The Commonwell enables you to rest easy knowing your operation is protected. We offer a unique and innovative product that provides holistic coverage specifically designed to address this exposure.
- Debris Removal increased from 5% to 15%
- Rebuilding on owned premises - no distance limitation from current structure
- Increase costs of repairing, replacing or constructing poultry housing – conventional cages to enriched cages
- Increase costs of repairing, replacing or constructing outbuilding – increased in size to accommodate housing
- Increased size in the outbuilding to accommodate the new housing and space requirements
- Protection for partial or total losses to the cages, to the barn or to both
Creating policies that truly protect your unique needs is what we’re all about. This coverage option was collaboratively designed by a team of broker partners, underwriters and claims adjusters, along with analytics and product design specialists with the goal of addressing the specific needs of farmers who must respond and align with the new code.
