History
The business has its origins in the former Breeding & Production Division of the Milk Marketing Board which was established in 1933 and broken up in 1994.[3] In 1999 Genus acquired ABS Global, a company founded by J.R. Prentice in the US as the American Breeders Service in 1941 selling the semen of cattle.[4] In 2005 Genus acquired, through the takeover of Sygen International plc, PIC, a company founded by six pork producers in the UK as the Pig Improvement Company in 1962.[5]
Operations
The company has three divisions:[6]
- ABS - products for cattle
- PIC - products for pigs
- Genus R&D - management of the research and development pipeline for cattle, pigs and other species.
PIC's pedigree herds sire an estimated 30% of commercially reared pigs.[7]
