Lohmann Tierzucht GmbH

German layer hen genetics company based in Cuxhaven, supplying LOHMANN LSL-Classic, LOHMANN BROWN-Classic and LOHMANN TRADITION breeds to hatcheries and egg producers in 120-plus countries.

Lohmann Tierzucht GmbH is a German poultry genetics company headquartered in Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony, founded in 1959 by the Lohmann family and now part of the EW Group alongside Aviagen and Hy-Line International. The company develops and sells pure-line layer hen breeds for the commercial egg production industry, with the principal commercial lines being LOHMANN LSL-Classic (high-performance white-shell line), LOHMANN BROWN-Classic (brown-shell, robust temperament) and LOHMANN TRADITION (dual-purpose, suitable for slower-grow systems). Lohmann maintains nucleus breeding flocks in Germany, with grandparent and parent stock multiplied through a global network of licensed multiplier farms and national hatcheries. Products are distributed to commercial egg producers of all sizes through national importers and licensed distributors in more than 120 countries. The company invests significantly in applied genomics, health screening and welfare trait selection, providing hatchery customers with breed-specific husbandry manuals, vaccination programmes and performance benchmarking. LOHMANN brown breeds have a particularly strong position in developing markets where brown-shell eggs command consumer premiums.
