About Genus


Genus 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 use
Genus genetics in their herds to produce offspring with greater production
efficiency, milk and meat output and quality. These offspring are used 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.
