Genus plc is a leading global biotechnology company focused on animal genetics, reproduction, and health. The company has a wide range of products and services catering to the livestock industry, including cattle, pigs, and poultry.
1. Livestock Genetic Improvement Services: Genus offers its customers genetic improvement services through its breeding programs for cattle, pigs, and poultry. The company uses advanced genomic technologies to improve the genetic potential of animals, resulting in higher-quality and more productive herds.
2. Sexed Semen: Genus offers a technology called Sexcel, which allows dairy farmers to choose the sex of their calves through the use of sexed semen. This helps farmers produce more female calves, which are typically more valuable for milk production, and thus increase their profitability.
3. Artificial Insemination (AI) Services: Genus provides AI services to farmers, which involves the use of high-quality semen from its genetic improvement programs to impregnate cows. This helps farmers improve their herds and increase milk production.
4. In vitro Fertilization (IVF) Services: Genus’ IVF services enable dairy farmers to accelerate genetic gain by producing more offspring from their top-performing cows. This technology also allows farmers to select the sex of the embryo, resulting in a higher proportion of female calves.
5. Reproduction and Health Products: Genus offers a range of reproduction and health products for dairy and beef cattle, pigs, and poultry. These include vaccines, diagnostics, and other animal health products that help prevent and treat diseases and improve animal well-being.
6. Genetic Testing Services: Genus provides genetic testing services to farmers, breeders, and researchers to help them make informed decisions about animal breeding and management. These tests can identify animals with desirable traits and help improve the genetic potential of a herd.
7. Consulting and Technical Support: Genus has a team of experts who provide consulting and technical support services to its customers. This includes advice on breeding strategies, nutrition, and herd management to help farmers optimize their production and profitability.
8. Software Solutions: Genus offers software solutions to assist farmers in managing their herds. These solutions provide data analysis and herd management tools to help farmers make efficient breeding decisions.
9. Training and Education: Genus organizes training programs and educational events for its customers and partners to enhance their knowledge about animal genetics, reproduction, and health. These events cover various topics, including the latest technologies and best practices in dairy farming.
10. Genomic Services: Genus offers genomic services which help in identifying and selecting animals with desirable traits such as higher milk production, disease resistance, and better feed efficiency. This technology uses genetic markers to predict the performance of an animal before it has offspring, allowing farmers to make more precise breeding decisions.
