The Canadian Animal Genetic Resource Program (CAGR) will be in Ontario and Quebec.

The mission of the CAGR is to ensure the genetic diversity of Canadian livestock and poultry, support environmentally friendly livestock and poultry production, and maintain food security, by acquiring, evaluating, and cryopreserving tissue and germplasm (sperm, embryos, oocytes).
 

The University of Saskatchewan and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada initiated the CAGR program in 2006. To build this national germplasm repository, CAGR program is seeking donation from different Canadian producers and industries.

 

The donated materials will not be released except in the eventuality of national emergency (outbreak disease) or a specific request by a breeder association.

 

Thus, this national cryobank is an insurance for the Canadian livestock industry and the success of this repository depends of your contribution.
