Pioneering animal genetic improvement to sustainably nourish the world

Collaborate as One Team

Genus is a world-leading animal genetics company.

We supply high-quality breeding animals with desirable characteristics to farmers, enabling them to produce better quality meat and milk more efficiently to feed the world more sustainably.

Our market leading breeding animals have desirable characteristics such as feed efficiency, disease resistance, growth rate, protein and fat content, and fertility. These characteristics enable farmers to produce better quality meat and milk more efficiently, and to feed the world more sustainably.

How we do it

We analyse animals’ DNA and look for markers that we know are linked to desirable characteristics for farmers.

We then select animals with the strongest genetic profile from our proprietary and partner herds and breed them to produce even better offspring, in a continuous cycle. We distribute these superior animals to customers in the form of animals, semen or embryos.

We also own technology that enables us to process semen for desirable traits, such as female sex for the dairy market, and license-in technology to make precise gene edits to animals’ DNA, which we are employing in our R&D programmes to produce animals which are resistant to fatal disease.

We focus on serving progressive farmers, who are best placed to realise and measure the benefits of our superior genetics and technologies.
