Supported by the Australian Government through Accelerating Commercialisation, an element of the Entrepreneurs’ Programme.

Genics is the proud recipient of an Australian Government March 2019 Accelerating Commercialisation grant. Selected to deliver MultiPath technology to the National Poultry Industry, Avian MultiPath will transform how we manage biosecurity on-farm and deliver greatly improved food safety throughout the supply chain. This opportunity will place the Australian Poultry Industry as global leaders in biosecurity and food safety.

Screening of broodstock prior to spawning and/or early postlarval shrimp prior to pond stocking for the pathogen IHHNV could prove highly profitable, simply by excluding high load stocks from production. A new study by Sellars et al 2019* demonstrates an increase in value by AU $67,000/ha by stocking only low load or no load IHHNV Black Tiger shrimp postlarvae. Shrimp MultiPath is the ideal tool to empower farm managers with the data required to make informed management decisions to deliver such improvements in profitability.
