SISPA Australian-Hu

Genetic Excellence

These rams from the SISPA Australian-Hu line—photographed at our Tianjin genetics center—embodies selective breeding for exceptional flavor, prolific fertility, year-round lambing, rapid average daily gain, and outstanding feed-conversion efficiency.

“To set the global benchmark for climate‑smart livestock in arid lands—delivering reliable, low‑carbon animal protein while regenerating the desert environment and creating lasting value for Gulf communities.”

ICS exists to:

1. Advance high-performance genetics
2. Close the feed‑energy‑water loop
3. Build scalable desert estates
4. Partner for impact
5. Nurture talent & prosperity

By executing on this mission, ICS turns desert constraints into competitive advantages—securing food sovereignty, meeting ESG mandates, and charting a profitable path toward near‑net‑zero lamb production.

PRINCIPLES

The Foundation of SISPA:
Our 11 Principles

SISPA’s work towards its vision and mission is guided by 11 core Principles. These values shape our culture, inform our decisions, and drive our commitment to building a legacy of sustainable sheep production for the benefit of future generations.

Circular
Economy

We believe in closed-loop systems that minimize waste and maximize resource utilization, turning challenges like waste streams into valuable contributions to our ecosystem.

Regenerative Stewardship

We are committed to regenerative agriculture practices that restore and enhance the health of our land, water, and ecosystems, creating a resilient and sustainable foundation for our sheep production.

Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to responsible land and water management, minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting animal welfare through ethical practices.

Innovation

We embrace creativity and cutting-edge technology to continuously improve and revolutionize the sheep production industry, setting a new standard for sustainability and efficiency.

Food Security

We champion the vital role of sustainable food production in ensuring the well-being of our communities and supporting Saudi Arabia's food security goals.

Collaboration

We foster strong partnerships with industry leaders, researchers, and local communities, sharing knowledge and expertise to drive collective progress.

Economic
Responsibility

We strive for financial sustainability while contributing to the diversification and growth of the Saudi economy, creating jobs and opportunities for all.

Quality

We are dedicated to producing the highest quality lamb products, exceeding market expectations and upholding the highest standards of food safety and hygiene.

Transparency

We are dedicated to producing the highest quality lamb products, exceeding market expectations and upholding the highest standards of food safety and hygiene.

Continuous
Improvement

We are committed to lifelong learning and adapting to evolving challenges, constantly seeking ways to improve our operations and enhance our positive impact.

OPERATIONS

CHINA: MEGA-SCALE SHEEP OPERATIONS

SISPA – Market Lamb Desert Production Reference Site Video – China (Xinjiang)

  • Large-scale, modular mega farms with separated biosecurity/functional zones and repeatable production units (MOPs) that standardize buildings, workflows, and labor.
  • High-throughput, tech-enabled operations using automation (TMR feeding, disinfection, manure removal) plus RFID-based tracking and KPI management.
  • Year-round, tightly managed production built on planned mating/AI, pregnancy testing, stage-based feeding, and prolific maternal genetics (Hu and Hu-cross composites).
  • Across our systems, we produce more than 3 million lambs annually (China)

STATE-OF-THE-ART SHEEP GENETICS CENTER

SISPA – Sheep Genetics Center Reference Site Video – China (Tainjin)

  • A National Genetic Engine: The center is designed to be a high-throughput genetic engine, using advanced reproductive technologies to achieve decades of genetic improvement in a fraction of the time.

  • Industrial Scale & Capacity: Housing over 20,000 high-health surrogate (ET recipient) ewes, the facility operates at an industrial scale, capable of producing tens of thousands of elite lambs annually from its nucleus flock.

  • Advanced Reproductive Technologies: At its core are state-of-the-art laboratories for industrial-scale Embryo Transfer (ET) and cryopreservation, allowing for the rapid multiplication of the most valuable genetic lines.

  • Bio-secure Design: The facility is engineered with a “clean corridor” philosophy and state-of-the-art biosecurity protocols to protect its priceless genetic assets.

  • The ICS Tianjin Genetics Center is more than a farm; it is a proven blueprint for the future of sustainable, high-performance livestock genetics, demonstrating the power of combining cutting-edge science with industrial-scale operational excellence.

OUR GLOBAL HONEY NETWORK
  • A beekeeper from our network tends to hives in the pristine landscapes of New Zealand. This is a glimpse into the global, hands-on sourcing strategy that ICS partner ICA has scaled
  • This hands-on approach allows us to ensure the absolute highest standards of quality and purity. It is a model we have scaled to a global network spanning 27 countries, producing 5000 metric tonnes of premium raw honey annually.
Global Expertise in Project Delivery
  • PROC Global is the megaproject delivery engine of the Amaril-ICS JV, providing the sophisticated PPP architecture and execution certainty required for a national platform of this scale. With a track record of managing over US $19 billion in capital projects across 151 projects, our expertise in project finance, program management, and digital engineering is proven on the world stage.
