United Kingdom ·
Genus is a United Kingdom group specialising in the genetic improvement of farm animals. It operates through two businesses: PIC, which works in porcine genetics for the pig sector, and ABS, which works in bovine genetics for dairy and beef cattle. Rather than producing feed or meat itself, Genus supplies breeding material and the support that goes with reproduction programmes on customer farms.
For pork, dairy and beef farmers, genetics sets the starting potential of a herd: growth, fertility, health and the quality of meat or milk. Genus supplies breeding animals, semen and programme support so that improvements are carried from one generation to the next. Its stated aim is to help farmers produce high-quality meat and milk more efficiently, which in practice means matching genetic lines to a farm's production system and breeding objectives.
Size of the business
Genus reported group revenue of GBP 658.1 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2026.
What does the company offer?
Genus offers pig genetics through PIC and cattle genetics through ABS, including semen and support for breeding programmes.
