About Genus PLC
Genus breeds and supplies livestock genetics through two businesses: ABS, focused on bovine (dairy and beef cattle) genetics, and PIC, focused on pig genetics. It uses genomic selection, analysing each animal's DNA to calculate Estimated Breeding Values, and its proprietary technologies include a sexing technology that sorts semen into female and male sex.
Customers are dairy, beef and pork farmers and producers, who access the genetics through live animals, semen or embryos, and receive supporting products, services and advice. The company reports 672.8m GBP global revenues for fiscal 2025 and 20m+ GBP invested in R&D annually.
Genus is headquartered in Basingstoke, UK, and was founded in 1994. It has 3,500 employees worldwide and operates in 30 countries, reaching a further 50 markets through distribution partners. Its R&D work includes development of a PRRS-resistant pig through a precise gene edit.
Product: Genetic improvement of dairy, beef and pork herds, supplied as live animals, semen and embryos, with supporting products and services.
