(2) A notice of the presence of a disease must be accompanied by a written statement from a veterinarian confirming the presence of the disease. Evaluation of loss 11 To determine the indemnity payable for a loss in production of an insured flock, the amount of the loss must be calculated in accordance with

Section 14. Broiler losses 12

(1) In this Section, “guaranteed production” of a broiler flock that has been placed in a production facility means the total number of kilograms of broilers in the flock.

Section 8 (4) If the Commission does not consent in writing to the destruction of an insured broiler flock and the flock is processed, the amount of the loss is calculated by using the following formula: L = (P - (M) +

A) I in which L = [the] loss, P = the guaranteed production for the flock, M = the allowance for normal mortality reported by the Chicken Farmers of Nova Scotia, A = the actual production for the flock, and I = the insurable value per bird established under

Section 8. Other flock losses 13 If the Commission receives notice under

schedule of values per bird established under

Section 8. Final adjustment of loss 14

(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3) and

Section 15, the indemnity payable to an insured person in the final adjustment of loss is 90% of the amount of loss calculated under

Section 12 or 13.

Part II - Regulations Vol. 31, No. 16 812 © NS Registry of Regulations. Web version.

(2) The Commission must determine a deductible amount to be applied in a final adjustment of loss and must announce that deductible to all insured persons before April 1 in each year.

(3) Before calculating the indemnity payable, the Commission must deduct any salvage value arising out of the destruction of an insured flock. Maximum indemnity 15

(1) The maximum indemnity for which the Commission is liable under a contract of insurance is the insured value of the poultry less any payments received (

a) under the Health of Animals Act (Canada); (
