GENEX

GENEX continually strives to lead the way with science-based services and innovative excellence in animal genetics. GENEX livestock technologies are modernizing animal husbandry and growing the global food supply by nearly 3 million tons annually — feeding more people with fewer cows and less land.  

In 2018, GENEX Cooperative became part of the company URUS making it the world’s largest bovine genetics company in the world. We provide cattle genetics for varying climates, production goals, and breeds. The individual companies within URUS are also top providers for cattle management software, dairy management reports, milk and soil testing, and calf care products, among others.
