About Genus
Genus creates and sells added value products for livestock farming and food
producers by creating advances to animal breeding through biotechnology. Its
non-Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) technology is applicable across all
livestock species but is only commercialised by Genus in the bovine and porcine
farming sectors.
Genus' worldwide sales are made in seventy countries under the trade marks 'ABS'
(dairy and beef cattle) and 'PIC' (pigs) and comprise semen and breeding animals
with superior genetics to those animals currently in production. Customers
produce offspring with greater production efficiency, milk and meat output and
quality and use these to supply the global dairy and meat supply chain.
Genus' competitive edge has been created from the ownership and control of
proprietary lines of breeding animals, the biotechnology used to improve them
and the Group's global production and distribution network.
Headquartered in Basingstoke, England, Genus companies operate in 30 countries
on five continents, with research laboratories located in Madison, USA.
