Research & Technology Centre

Capitalizing on the Synergies of a Multi-Species Breeding Company

The Hendrix Genetics Research & Technology Centre (RTC) is worldwide recognized as one of the leading research centers of animal genetics.

It supports the breeding divisions of Hendrix Genetics, like ISA, with work on projects to improve the basis for selection programs: the prediction of genetic value of breeding candidates.

Pedigree and performance data of millions of animals are stored centrally with RTC software engineers ensuring the newest features and functionalities in database and data entry technology. 

The RTC Biobank stores blood and tissue samples of all breeding stock for meaningful analysis of the DNA information using molecular genetics.

In addition to in-house research numerous other research projects are successfully executed in close collaboration with international renowned institutions and well-known companies.

All in all, the RTC capitalizes on the synergies of a multi-species breeding company by ensuring the best combination of science and practice.
