Order APA/286/2026 defines the minimum technical farming and management conditions required to access insurance for breeding and production cattle under the Combined Agricultural Insurance Plan (Art. 1). To be eligible for insurance, farms must hold a REGA code and comply with bovine farm regulations and animal traceability systems (Art. 1.1.a, b, and c). The regulation establishes specific age and condition criteria for sires and breeding females based on their genetic value or farming regime (Art. 1.1.c, d, e, and f).
For cattle farmers, the regulation makes insurance coverage conditional upon strict compliance with traceability requirements, REGA registration, and zootechnical regulations (Art. 1.1). Farms wishing to insure high genetic value animals must meet specific thresholds, such as having at least 70% of sires with a zootechnical certificate to qualify for that specific modality (Art. 1.1.d). Compliance with minimum ages according to the Bovine Identification Document (DIB) is critical for the validity of coverage for sires and breeding females (Art. 1.1.c and e).
