About Genus breeding
Genus Breeding: A Pioneer in the Field of Animal Genetics
Genus Breeding is a global leader in animal genetics, providing innovative solutions to farmers and breeders worldwide. With over 50 years of experience, Genus Breeding has been at the forefront of genetic research and development, delivering superior genetics that enhance the productivity and profitability of livestock farming.
At Genus Breeding, we believe that genetics plays a crucial role in shaping the future of agriculture. Our mission is to help farmers produce more food with fewer resources by providing them with high-quality genetics that are tailored to their specific needs. We work closely with our customers to understand their challenges and develop customized solutions that meet their unique requirements.
Our Products
Genus Breeding offers a wide range of products for different species including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and aquaculture. Our products are designed to improve key traits such as growth rate, feed efficiency, meat quality, milk production and fertility.
Our flagship product for dairy cattle is Sexcel®, which uses sexed semen technology to increase the number of female calves born on farms. This helps farmers achieve better herd management by reducing calving intervals while also improving milk production.
For beef cattle breeding programs we offer Angus Genetics Inc., which provides superior Angus genetics through artificial insemination (AI) or natural service sires. These sires have been selected based on their ability to improve carcass quality traits such as marbling score or ribeye area while also improving calving ease scores.
In addition to our livestock breeding programs we also offer genetic services for aquaculture species like salmonids (trout & salmon), tilapia & shrimp where we provide broodstock selection services along with genetic improvement programs using selective breeding techniques.
Our Research & Development
At Genus Breeding we invest heavily in research and development (R&D) activities aimed at developing new technologies that can help us deliver even better results for our customers. Our R&D team is composed of highly skilled scientists and technicians who work tirelessly to develop new genetic solutions that can help farmers improve their productivity and profitability.
We have state-of-the-art research facilities in the UK, US, Brazil, China and India where we conduct cutting-edge research on animal genetics. Our research focuses on developing new breeding technologies such as genomic selection which uses DNA markers to predict an animal's genetic potential for specific traits.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Genus Breeding we are committed to sustainability and believe that our products can help farmers produce more food with fewer resources. We work closely with our customers to promote sustainable farming practices that reduce environmental impact while also improving animal welfare.
We are also committed to reducing our own environmental footprint by implementing sustainable practices across all aspects of our business operations. This includes reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste generation, promoting recycling & reusing materials wherever possible.
