Netherlands ·
Hendrix Genetics is a Netherlands-based multi-species animal breeding, genetics and technology company, with Thijs Hendrix named as its owner. It runs breeding programmes in laying hens, turkeys, traditional poultry, swine, salmon, shrimp and trout, and each of its brands has its own breeding programme. In September 2026 it took full ownership of Hendrix Genetics Swine, previously a joint venture with Danish partners formed from the merger of Hypor and Danish Genetics.
For producers, the choice of genetics shapes egg output, growth, robustness and feed use long before any other management decision. Because Hendrix Genetics works across very different production systems, from layer houses and turkey farms to pig units and fish farms, its brands are organised around species and breeding objectives. A farm or hatchery typically works with the brand that matches its species, production system and goals, drawing on breeding stock and the data behind each programme.
Size of the business
Hendrix Genetics reports locations in more than 25 countries. On 17 September 2026 it announced full ownership of Hendrix Genetics Swine.
What does the company offer?
