OmniGen Research was formed in 2002 as a firm dedicated to development of natural products which improve health and productivity of the livestock industry. The company is a unique partnership between experienced feed industry personnel and scientists with skills in animal sciences, biochemistry and molecular biology. The products OmniGen Research provides address real needs in the livestock industry and are based on sound science.
OmniGen Research does not sell all of its products to livestock managers. In some cases, products are licensed to other feed companies using licensing agreements. Presently, Prince Agri Products is the exclusive national distributor of OmniGen-AF. Diagnostic products are available directly from OmniGen Research.
OmniGen Research is committed to good science and to useful science. The products it markets are efficacious and soundly based on laboratory and field testing.
