Producer who
has a kill or injury, calls their SCIC regional office for assistance so the assessment process can begin. |

All evidence of the attack should be preserved for the adjuster to view. An adjuster will assess loss or injury |

Claim asssessments are based on the evidence of the attack, the attack site and indicators of the presence of a predator |

If the adjuster determines that:
a) There is sufficient evidence to prove a predator attack, the producer will receive full compensation.

Predation Information Links
- In 2004, the American Sheep Industry
(ASI) published a special issue of The Sheep & Goat Research
Journal which focused entirely on predation. There are many
articles in this edition that may be helpful for anyone dealing
with predation or would like to be more proactive about it.
