Arrêté grand-ducal du 19 mars 1945 portant création d'une assurance obligatoire des animaux de boucherie.

AI-assisted research summary: This preamble announces a grand-ducal decree creating mandatory insurance for slaughter animals.

AI-assisted research summary: This article says slaughter-livestock insurance is intended to protect breeders and butchers against losses from the seizure of meat from animals slaughtered in the country’s slaughterhouses or slaughtering places.

AI-assisted research summary: The insurance covers certain cattle and pigs over three months old whose meat is for human consumption, and a ministerial order may extend it to other animal species.

AI-assisted research summary: Other companies may insure butcher animals only for risks not covered by the Caisse d'assurance du bétail de boucherie.

AI-assisted research summary: Animals admitted to insurance are insured at the purchase price; if that price is unknown or considered too high, they are insured by net weight under a scale to be established by the managing committee.

AI-assisted research summary: If meat is seized, the insured value is repaid and the animal becomes the insurer’s property; no indemnity is paid if the owner is found guilty of fraud or if only offal is seized.
