Heath Lambert is offering poultry growers cover against Avian Flu.
The broker's London Market operation, FSJ, has a facility that provides all risks of mortality cover, which can be extended to cover the financial consequences of an Avian Flu outbreak.
FSJ said the cover is available for growers whose bird flocks are housed indoors, known as intensive rearing.
Bill White, FSJ, said: "Our facility offers growers compensation for the financial impact of Avian Flu beyond the current levels of compensation offered by the UK government.
"The cover is not likely to be around forever, however, with underwriters reviewing the ever changing threat of Avian Flu on a regular basis."
