That year, the company cloned two bulls, named Divide and Duplicate, from one embryo. As of 1983, American Breeders Service was owned by W. R. Grace and Company. Its name was changed to ABS Global in 1994, after the company was bought by an investment bank. On November 15, 1999, Genus plc bought ABS Global from Protein Genetics, a New York–based firm. When the sale closed, ABS had around 340 employees, 150 of which were in DeForest. (en)
