USLGE members match international producers with sources in the United States that offer genetics with superior credentials. The combined resources of USLGE members include most major species and breeds — resources that are unmatched by any other single organization.
USLGE members include a broad base of U.S. livestock organizations (dairy, beef, swine, horse, goat, and sheep) as well as embryo and semen industries, the livestock export sector, and State Departments of Agriculture.
U.S. Livestock Genetics Export, Inc. (USLGE) is requesting proposals to identify a consultant organization to provide global content creation in promotion of U.S. Livestock genetics. The project is designed to promote the value proposition and superior quality and innovative techniques of the U.S. livestock genetic industry under the banner of USLGE. The scope of work is focused on the creation of content to give USLGE global promotion materials a new, fresh, eye-catching look and grab the attention of international stakeholders and buyers. The content will be formatted for utilization in digital media and video clips. Development of content for various social media outlets such as Instagram and Facebook also is needed.
