  • The Chinese porcine joint venture delivered about £111 million cash in FY26.

  • Genus monetizes elite genetics through recurring royalties, not commodity livestock sales.
  • ABS and PIC combine bovine and porcine genetics across 100-plus countries.

Canada approves PRRSV-resistant pigs for food and feed to cut farm losses and antibiotic use

Canada has approved genetically engineered pigs resistant to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses for use in food and feed. Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency completed independent safety assessments following applications from Genus PLC and PIC Canada, concluding the pigs are as safe and nutritious as conventional pork. The approval addresses PRRSV, one of the most devastating virus classes affecting farmed pigs, which causes severe symptoms including breathing problems, fever and stillborn piglets. There are currently no effective treatments available. Genus PLC's PRRSV-resistant pigs are already approved in the US, Brazil, Colombia and the Dominican Republic. However, the company will not sell these pigs in Canada until receiving regulatory authorisation in other key markets. Canada's swine industry generated over $6.3 billion in farm cash receipts in 2024.
