About Us

Our Story 

ABS Global was founded to defy expectations. We have always been innovative; it's in our DNA. From the co-development of the first semen tank to the recent ground-breaking launch of our innovative Sexcel® sexed genetics product, we have made our mark in the bovine genetics industry. 

We never settle. We are always challenging the status quo—even if we created it.

People are the reason we exist. Our employees and partners bring a variety of viewpoints to the table which propels our success, and our customers' needs have shaped who we are today.

We have more than 80 years of experience and are established in 70 countries with over 1,600 colleagues who represent the ABS brand. We partner with progressive and genetic-driven producers by providing them with tailored solutions to assist them in producing higher-quality milk and meat with less.  

Our team, which is a member of the farm team, combines reproductive management, genetic competence, and a thorough grasp of cattle breeding to assist clients in achieving sustainable success. Our team combines genetic expertise, reproductive management, and a deep understanding of breeding cattle to help customers succeed in a sustainable way. ABS strives to work closely with producers and become a part of a farm’s team as a Genetic Advisor. If our customers win, we win! 

Whether in our barns or on our customers' farms, we are dedicated to the highest standards of animal welfare and our responsibility to our customers and employees.

Our mission is pioneering animal genetic improvement to help nourish the world, so we take great pride in being pioneers that help provide a sustainable, ethical, and profitable global food source. It’s not about what we do, but how we do it. In the end, we are employees, farmers, and consumers at the same time. 

We are ABS Global—profit from genetic progress!
