Good food starts with healthy animals
For thousands of years, animals have been cared for and bred with the intent to pass along good qualities to their offspring. Each generation leverages new knowledge and technologies to constantly improve this process.
Today, we are taking the next step in this continuum through what’s called, "Precision Breeding." Precision Breeding combines the best knowledge of genetics with the capability to precisely deliver these natural traits and dramatically speed-up the genetic improvement of plants and animals used for food.
The result of Precision Breeding is healthier and more disease-resistant animals that can be raised more sustainably and by improved animal well-being measures.
Solutions for long-held problems in agriculture and aquaculture
The Acceligen team, many of whom grew up on a farm, are world renown experts in Precision Breeding, the next evolution of genetic improvement, which brings the best natural traits to the next generation of farm animals.
Using native traits in cattle, swine, fish and other animals crucial to fighting diseases, improving adaptability, survivability and sparing animals from routine medical procedures.
These healthier, more humanely-raised animals mean fewer animals and natural resources are needed to nourish the world.
