Genics is focused on the commercial success of your farm. Using your animal’s pathogen and genetic data, we’ll develop highly sensitive, customized health care and breeding programs to reduce disease risks, improve biosecurity, and boost your farm’s performance.
Our Shrimp MultiPath™ and Pork MultiPath™ technology focuses on early pathogen detection before you see the first signs of disease. Our testing detects pathogens weeks before your animals show the first signs of being sick.
With Genics MultiPath, DeepDive, and ShrimpID technology, supported by our team of global experts, we’re able to customize your 360-degree health plan to include selective breeding, PCR pathogen detection, and histopathology.
Genics MultiPath technology dramatically reduces the cost of pathogen testing by identifying multiple pathogens with a single test. MutiPath empowers informed management decisions that mitigate disease risk and maximize yield.
Our technology is unsurpassed in its ability to co-detect multiple animal pathogens. Its sensitivity and specificity are equal or superior to current gold standard diagnostic methods that typically detect only a single pathogen with each test.
All Genics services are performed in ISO17025 Accredited Laboratories by qualified laboratory personnel and veterinarians. MultiPath testing includes DNA and RNA quality controls for every sample. With all our solutions, we deliver results rapidly with fast data turnaround, even on large numbers of samples.
“Continual improvement in company procedures, protocols and operations is one of VietUc’s foundations of success. We turned to Genics when it came to reviewing and raising the standards of our Biosecurity across the VietUc grow out Business. It was one of the best decisions ever made. I highly recommend the Biosecurity services of Team Genics.”
“PT Prima Larvae Bali promises our customers the highest quality postlarvae for our local Indonesian market that meet the highest biosecurity standards. To deliver on this promise, we choose Genics for our routine shrimp health testing and their accredited Shrimp MultiPath technology.”
“Our team at Kona Bay Indonesia are very impressed with Genics approach to data-driven decision making helping our facilities produce healthy, robust locally grown Indonesian Kona Bay broodstock that are SPF. Their helpful team give us confidence through designing statistically significant health sample programs and providing training in sampling for pathogen testing. Shipping is always fast, and the paperwork simple. Thank you Genics”.
“Results from Genics Shrimp MultiPath provided us with trusted information about our animal’s health allowing us to make important data-driven management decisions. Ultimately, the data provides us with a competitive advantage and when combined with very good value for money and excellent customer service we’ll happily call on Genics for further insights into our animal health”.
“Genics are an expert team providing complete Shrimp Health solutions to our industry that add genuine value customised to each business. Their proprietary Shrimp MultiPath platform provides unrivalled quality controlled data for multiple pathogen detection – something that is not available anywhere else in the world. I would happily recommend Genics to anyone requiring Shrimp Health Solutions”.
“With the aim of increasing shrimp production on our farms in Indonesia and better understanding the health of our shrimp, I turned to Genics for testing using Shrimp MultiPath. After a simple tissue sampling process, our samples were sent to Australia with test results ready within 48 hours of receiving the samples in the lab. The results helped our team understand how we can further improve animal health leading to stronger and disease resistant shrimp in future harvests. Also, a bonus, is the data showing that we can improve water quality management on our farms leading to healthier shrimp”.
“As a repeat customer, I am constantly impressed how Genics data allows me to make crucial data-driven decisions leading to improved farm performance. We have used Shrimp MultiPath a number of times as a mechanism to better understand the overall health of our shrimp. This in turn helps our farm reduce risk of disease, lower costs and increase productivity”
“I wanted to let you know of how happy we are with Genics Shrimp MultiPath. The results have definitely given us solid peace of mind and confidence in our business. I wish more of Indonesian farmers are able to enjoy the benefits of Genics technology in the future“.
“For me, Genics’ Shrimp MultiPath technology is unsurpassed in its ability to detect pathogens early, mitigate disease and provide certainty about our animal’s health. This means that despite the global pandemic, we’re on a fast-track to improved viability and growth. Additionally, Genics customer service has provided us with animal data quickly, allowing us to make informed management decisions with confidence”.
“Genics with their ShrimpID solutions suite provided us with a practical mate allocation plan that maximised genetic diversity of our progeny. We have seen a massive improvement in nauplii production already! Incredible results, powerful data. We look forward to working with Genics to continually improve on our breeding program and high-quality post-larvae offerings to Ecuadorian Shrimp Producers”.
Shrimp rarely harbor only one pathogen, and farmers often don’t know which one they are. Genics has solved this problem.
With Shrimp Multipath2.0, we empower farmers with an early warning system detecting 18 pathogens simultaneously. With unrivaled sensitivity and specificity, Shrimp MultiPath2.0 solves one of the shrimp industry’s biggest challenges.

Background
Shrimp MultiPath™ solutions (Shrimp MultiPath™ and MultiPath Xtra) detects up to 14 commercially impactful pathogens of shrimp simultaneously (including DIV-1). MultiPath is a PCR based technology with unrivalled test sensitivity, specificity and data turn-around times for multiple pathogen detection. MultiPath generates digitized pathogen prevalence and quantitative load data at scale, and is compatible with digital farm management solutions.
Pathogens detected by Shrimp MultiPath™ or MultiPath Xtra include:
Decapod iridescent virus 1, DIV-1, White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Yellow head virus (YHV) variants 1-7, Taura syndrome virus (TSV), Infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV), Laem-Singh necrosis virus (LSNV), Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), Monodon baculovirus (MBV), Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), Pir A toxin gene & Pir B toxin gene (AHPND/EMS; Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease/Early mortality syndrome), Gill associated virus (GAV), Mourilyan virus (MoV), and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). Shrimp MultiPath differentiates between all 7 YHV variants using independent variant specific targets. HPV is also known as Hepatopancreatic densovirus (HDV). GAV is also known as YHV2.
Validation
Shrimp MultiPath™ solutions performance has been assessed and validated by Third Party ISO17025 assessors which follow the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) Manual for Validation of Diagnostic Assays.
Testing Facilities and Turn-around time
MultiPath is run in Genics Service Laboratories in Australia that are ISO17025 Third Party Accredited. Shipment of samples to Australia from most regions of the world takes ~3 days by courier and data is available within 48 hours of sample arrival at the laboratory. Genics provide the required documentation to ship Shrimp samples into Australia in 70% laboratory grade ethanol.
Validated Shrimp Species
MultiPath™ has been validated on five shrimp species from multiple geographical locations.
