Its non-Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) technology is applicable across all livestock species but is only commercialised by Genus in the bovine and porcine farming sectors. Genus' worldwide sales are made in seventy countries under the trade marks 'ABS' (dairy and beef cattle) and 'PIC' (pigs) and comprise semen and breeding animals with superior genetics to those animals currently in production. Customers produce offspring with greater production efficiency, milk and meat output and quality and use these to supply the global dairy and meat supply chain. Genus' competitive edge has been created from the ownership and control of proprietary lines of breeding animals, the biotechnology used to improve them and the Group's global production and distribution network. Headquartered in Basingstoke, England, Genus companies operate in 30 countries on five continents, with research laboratories located in Madison, USA.
