  • Publication number: 20130103593
    Abstract: Systems, computer readable medium having computer program, and related computer implemented methods are provided to aggregate a plurality of customized livestock warranty products so that each of the plurality of customized livestock warranty products is provided to different owners of different herds of a plurality of herds and so that a collective livestock risk product is produced for collective risk management. Embodiments of the present invention advantageously incentivize disease event disclosure by facilitating the purchase of individual warranty products by livestock producers that cover the full value of the producers' losses, yet also incentivize producers to enforce rigorous bio-security measures. Beneficially, the individual warranty products can be provided as part of a collective product for collective reinsurance and collective management of federal indemnity for catastrophic disease events.
