Genus

Genus is a global leader in animal genetics. Genus R&D is at the forefront of innovation in gene editing, enhanced reproductive biology, and other revolutionary breeding technologies, advancing an agricultural technique that has been practiced for thousands of years - animal breeding.

The company examines the DNA of animals in search of markers that have been connected to beneficial features for farmers. In an ongoing cycle, it picks animals with the strongest genetic profile from its proprietary and partner herds and breeds them to generate even superior offspring. These superior animals are distributed to consumers in the form of animals, semen, or embryos.

Its mission is to ensure that the global food system continues to breed healthy, productive animals that produce affordable, high-quality proteins for a long-term future. It sells high-quality breeding animals with high qualities to farmers through ABS Global (bovine) and PIC (porcine), allowing them to produce better-quality meat and milk more effectively and sustainably. The ideal properties of its breeding animals are feed efficiency, disease resistance, growth rate, protein and fat content, and fertility.
