This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in performing support activities related to raising livestock (e.g., cattle, goats, hogs, horses, poultry, sheep). These establishments may perform one or more of the following: (1) breeding services for animals, including companion animals (e.g., cats, dogs, pet birds); (2) pedigree record services; (3) boarding horses; (4) dairy herd improvement activities; (5) livestock spraying; and (6) sheep dipping and shearing.
Start the review with animal bailee liability.
For Support Activities for Animal Production, the saved research highlights animal bailee liability, animal-related bodily injury, professional/services liability. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What specific services are offered — boarding, breeding, shearing, spraying, herd consulting, or a combination?
- What animal types are handled — horses, companion animals, cattle, sheep, poultry, or others?
- Are any client-owned animals kept on premises overnight or for extended periods?
- Is there any public access, agritourism, or riding instruction activity on the property?
- Are chemicals, pesticides, or dipping agents used in operations, and how are they stored and disposed?
- Does the operation own any high-value breeding stock that would need mortality coverage?
- For Support Activities for Animal Production, what should the underwriter know about public access, agritourism, or riding lesson activities combined with boarding operations, which meaningfully expand liability exposure?
- For Support Activities for Animal Production, what should the underwriter know about handling of exotic, wild, or high-value bloodstock animals where standard program limits may be insufficient?

Establishments in this class provide support services to livestock and animal production operations rather than raising animals themselves. Common activities include boarding horses, providing livestock breeding services, sheep shearing and dipping, livestock spraying, pedigree record-keeping, and dairy herd improvement work. Some operations are premises-based (boarding facilities, breeding farms); others involve mobile or on-site service visits to client farms.
