Our Mission
‘To provide the UK livestock industry with the breeding products and expertise that will enable them to maximise their breeding potential and to achieve profitable and sustainable livestock production’
Our pedigree
A spin-out company from Aberystwyth University, Innovis was established in 2004 by the merger of CBS Technologies with two small companies which serviced the pig breeding sector. This enabled Innovis to harness the knowledge and experience associated with the supply of high quality genetics within the pig sector and to build upon its original platform as a supplier of artificial breeding services for sheep. Innovis quickly established a track record for the successful delivery of both government contracts and customer-focused commercial activity which enabled its portfolio of products and services to be expanded to embrace a range of species and for these to be delivered from a geographic base which now encompasses the whole of the UK and Ireland. Recent investments since 2007 have now enabled Innovis to apply all of its technological expertise and experience to generate superior breeding females for commercial lamb production.
