Products
Heat tolerance trait (slick coat phenotype)
Genetic variant introduction to confer improved thermotolerance in cattle, intended to reduce heat stress and associated productivity losses in hot climates.
Polled (hornless) trait for cattle
Introduction of naturally occurring hornless alleles to eliminate the need for dehorning procedures.
PRRS resistance trait for swine
Genetic approaches aimed at producing pigs with reduced susceptibility to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome viruses.
Disease-resistance and parasite-resistance traits for aquaculture
Genetic development aimed at increasing disease resilience in farmed fish, including resistance to sea lice and other pathogens to reduce antibiotic use.

Services
Precision breeding service for livestock and aquaculture
Collaborative development and deployment of genetic traits for cattle, swine, and fish aimed at improving disease resistance, heat tolerance, welfare traits, and sustainability outcomes.
Collaborative trait prioritization and field validation
Stakeholder engagement and field studies with breeders, NGOs, and industry partners to select traits of commercial and welfare importance and validate their performance under production conditions.
Integration with reproductive and genetic dissemination services
Operational collaboration to combine genetic trait development with reproductive technologies to scale distribution of improved genetics.
