With a growing population, the demand for food rises. We, Hendrix Genetics, breed animals to help feed the world. With our trout, salmon and shrimp programs we help regenerate the wild seafood stock by providing a consistent supply of seafood all year round.
Our laying hens can lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetime, because they live long, produce eggs easily and are happy in their environment. In the last couple of decades, pigs became bigger, more robust and produce more meat with fewer resources.
All these animals advance every generation with 2%, if we pick the best out of the best. This leads to a more sustainable food supply. We truly believe in: Better Breeding Today for a Brighter Life Tomorrow.
