Genus PLC

Genus PLC is an animal genetics company that applies genetic improvement to livestock breeding, with the stated aim of sustainably increasing the efficiency and health of food-producing animals. Its work is organised around two principal divisions: Genus PIC, a leader in swine genetics focused on growth rates, feed efficiency and meat quality in pigs, and Genus ABS, which works on bovine genetics to improve milk yield, fertility and disease resistance in cattle.

The company's technical base covers genomics, gene editing, CRISPR, bioinformatics, data analytics and advanced reproductive technologies. These are applied within a research and development operation staffed by more than 3,500 scientists, geneticists and agricultural experts. Candidates with backgrounds in life sciences, quantitative genetics, computational biology or agricultural science will recognise the disciplines at the core of the business.

Genus operates in more than 70 countries, working in partnership with farmers and livestock producers across the pork, dairy, beef and broader food-production sectors. The company frames its work in terms of measurable outcomes for those partners - improved profitability alongside a reduced environmental footprint - and describes its mission as contributing to food security for a growing global population through scientific and technological advance.
