Livestock sector is an important sector to the agriculture, especially in strengthening rural economy. The supplemental income derived from rearing of livestock is a great source of support to the farmer facing uncertainties of crop production, apart from providing sustenance to poor and landless farmers. Due to the steady increase in population and an inefficient distribution of resources, a majority of poor households have very little or no agricultural land to engage in cropping activities. In Vidarbha region, farmer suicide is serious and current issue. For minimizing and avoiding death of farmers they must have kept livestock with them, as their subsidiary income will rise and also must have insurance for their livestock, it will be beneficial for them in critical condition. The present study was based on primary and secondary data collected from different Sources of government publications and insurance companies.i.e.New India Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company.

The performance of New India Insurance company recorded the increasing in number of owners overall the districts during the study period and also no of policies in all the districts. Sizeable number of owners were observed who were insuring their animals during their study period. About 3 thousand animals who insured their animal during the base year that crossed 15 thousand at the end of study period. Identical picture was observed in the performance of United India Insurance Company indicting the change in attitude of farmers towards animal insurance as a result of company efforts and value of animals. The constraints analysis for livestock owners indicated that poor information about the livestock insurance scheme then no need of livestock insurance and also the insurance premium was not affordable to the farmers. The number of animals covered and sum insured increased in New India Insurance Company during the study period.
