Nepal Nepal is located in south Asia, between China and India.
Nepals capital city is Kathmandu. Nepal is made up of three main
geographical regions: the Himalayan region, the hills region, and
the Terai region. Nepal has five major seasons: spring, summer,
fall, winter and monsoon. Population of 30,986,975, with about 46%
unemployment rate. 75% of the people in Nepal are involved in
agriculture. http://i.infoplease.com/images/mnepal.gif
Slide 4
Product technology Collection of semen from a male goat (buck)
and transferring it to a female goat (doe). Doe needs to be bred
two or three times at 12 hour intervals to increase chance of
fertilization. Semen can be stored frozen, liquid, or cool in a
fridge.

Slide 5
Canadian Supplier The Canadian company we would be dealing with
is OC Flock Management. Founded and operated by Lynn Tait and
Ileana Wenger in Bowden Alberta. Currently have six different
breeds of bucks available for semen. Semen comes frozen in 0.25cc
straws. Offer training programs for semen processing, artificial
insemination and embryo transfer.

Slide 6
Benefits to Canada Increase demand for goat genetics and semen
in Canada. Bring profits to Canadian companies such as OC flock
management, as well as Canadian goat farmers. If demand in Nepal
becomes large enough it could provide more jobs for Canadians in
the goat industry.

Slide 7
Benefits to Nepal Goats are a growing business of 4% per year.
Can combine high quality Canadian genetics with environmentally
adapted Nepalese breeds. Nepalese farmers wouldnt need to keep
bucks for breeding and could sell them for meat instead. Increase
genetic quality of goat herds. Increase family incomes

Slide 8
Target Consumer Primarily farmers in the hills region where
goat population is 300,071. Also goat farmers in other regions.
Livestock production provides 20% of the household income in the
hills region. Take advantage of a large industry in Nepal and
increase genetics so smaller producers can generate higher income
from fewer goats.

Slide 9
Shipping/Marketing Have sales representatives go into hills and
inform farmers of product and its potential. Get an estimate on how
much semen should be sent over. Ship semen by air from Calgary to
Kathmandu. store semen in a liquid nitrogen container when
shipping, size will be determined by demand.

Slide 10
Conclusion Poor quality goats in Nepal. Use artificial
insemination to improve genetics in goat herds. Provide more money
for families in the goat industry in Nepal
