Why Origin Genetics?
As a world leading genetics company, we offer a wide range of products that our customers will not find anywhere else. Our technology is so advanced that we are the only AI station approved to hold the gene bank of the UK pig population, as approved by RBST and BPA.
Committed to our customers’ success
Customer success is at the heart of everything we do. By forging lasting relationships with our customers, we can get to know their plans for the future and the types of products they need to succeed. For those who are new to the AI process, we cut down the complicated jargon and never ask for any long-term agreements.
Committed to our customers’ success
We work passionately to produce the AI needed to increase the yield and profitability of our clients. To do this, we are constantly researching the field, working with the British Pig Association and RBST to extend our gene bank, and providing a seamless delivery service worldwide.

As a second-generation family business, we know our industry inside-out. Since 1956, we’ve been searching for new ways to solve old problems and today, we’re proud to be one of the world leading producers of Fresh and Frozen AI.
