Did you know2025
Genus plc, owner of PIC (controlling ~30% of global commercial pig genetics), traces its corporate origins to the UK government's Milk Marketing Board, established 1933 as a state milk pricing monopoly. When the MMB was broken up in 1994, its genetics operations were spun off as Genus plc. The dominant force in global pork genetics is a privatized former UK government dairy bureaucracy — a lineage giving it unique scale advantages rooted in government infrastructure investment rather than private R&D.
