What believers are saying

  • PRRSV resistance directly reduces herd illness, antibiotic use, and mortality.
  • Canada’s swine industry generated over **C$6.3 billion** in 2024 farm receipts.

What critics are saying

  • Genus will not sell in Canada until other key markets approve.
  • Retailers and processors can reject gene-edited pork despite regulatory clearance.
  • Any adverse incident in gene-edited livestock can slow pending approvals globally.

What makes Genus unique

  • Genus’s PIC platform targets **PRRSV resistance** through precise **CD163 gene editing**.
  • Canada joined the U.S., Brazil, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic in approvals.
  • Health Canada found PRRSV-resistant pigs as safe and nutritious as conventional pork.
