Genetiporc

We want to inform you that on Monday, September 23, Genus PIG and the Aliments Breton Foods Group announced that they have signed an agreement for the sale of Aliments Breton's porcine genetics business, Genetiporc, to Genus PIC. We expect the transaction to close in mid-October after which the Genetiporc operations will start to become integrated with the operations of PIC, Genus' global porcine genetics business.

We believe this acquisition combines two highly respected, customer-focused porcine genetics players. The acquisition will provide the opportunity to combine PIC and Genetiporc's technical expertise, supply chains, and genetic pools. The combined organization will be able to widen the range of leading products and services available to all customers. It will further provide great opportunities for supply chain partners of both PIC and Genetiporc. We are looking forward as a combined organization, to deepening our relationship with you as our valued customer or partner. No immediate changes to genetic programs will occur and the parties will honor all existing contracts.

Our first priority is to ensure a successful integration of the businesses and provide seamless, continuous support for you We personally want to assure you that our dedicated employees will remain focused on your needs and continue to provide exemplary services. We will stay in close contact with you over the coming days and weeks to provide further information and address any questions you may have.

In the meantime, please continue to work with your contact at Genetiporc and reach out to them with any questions.

From all of us here at Genetiporc, we would like to thank you for your business and support. We value the opportunity to continue to work with you now and in the future. We are committed to working diligently to expand the value that we bring,

With best regards,

In this exclusive interview from the 2025 Iowa Pork Congress Rachel Fishback and Swineweb sit down with Tim Messinger, a seasoned expert from Precision Structures Inc. (PSI) of Wellman, Iowa, to delve into the latest trends and innovations in hog barn construction and remodeling.

With nearly two decades at PSI, Tim shares his journey from draftsman to sales, highlighting the company’s comprehensive services in building farrow-to-wean complexes, finishers, and nurseries. He emphasizes the critical role of proper site layout and grading in barn construction, ensuring long-term efficiency and scalability for pork producers.

Tim also discusses the increasing importance of advanced ventilation systems and smart controllers like Maximus and AP Edge, which offer producers enhanced monitoring and control over barn environments. As construction costs have risen, PSI has seen an uptick in remodeling projects, particularly in slat replacements, roof refurbishments and barn gating remodels to extend the lifespan of existing facilities.

A key takeaway from Tim is the value of partnering with reputable builders who offer robust post-sale support. PSI’s dedicated service team stands ready to assist clients 24/7, addressing emergencies and ensuring optimal barn performance.

For pork producers looking to build or upgrade their facilities, this conversation offers valuable insights into best practices and the latest industry developments.
