Creating value with genetics is the essence of our existence. The three key components of how we create value for the animal protein chain are: collaboration, innovation and sustainability. We see collaboration as a key factor in continuing to improve our products in the right way, as well as evolving towards co-creation of genetic solutions – not only with our current partners but with those across the value chain, including feed, pharma and equipment companies. We believe in the power of long-term partnerships with our customers and suppliers. We see innovation as the core of our strategy. This is why we invest so much into the development of our breeding animals. Through our research we continuously improve the various aspects of our genetics, focusing on new technologies and smarter and new applications of existing technologies. We are constantly seeking new ideas through open innovation with partners focusing on entirely different technologies or industries.

📍 Meet Hendrix Genetics at WCGALP 2026 From July 12–17, our teams will join researchers, industry experts and geneticists from around the world at the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production (WCGALP) in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. This year's congress provides an opportunity to share how genetics can help address some of the key challenges facing animal production today. We're proud to contribute to eight scientific studies across four species: poultry, pigs, trout and shrimp. Whether improving breeding strategies for laying hens and pigs, developing new approaches for trout and shrimp genetics, or supporting poultry production in Burkina Faso, all eight studies share a common goal: turning science into genetic progress that delivers real-world impact. If you're attending #WCGALP2026, we'd be delighted to connect with and discuss the future of animal breeding. #HendrixGenetics #AnimalBreeding #Innovation #WCGALP2026
