"Presently we have 20 donkeys and I have made an investment of around Rs 42 lakhs. We are planning to sell donkey milk which has a lot of advantages. Our dream is that donkey milk should be available to everyone. Donkey milk is a medicine formula," said Srinivas.
Gowda said several people were apprehensive and made fun of him when he shared the idea of opening a donkey farm with them. He noted that a 30ml milk packet at Rs 150 is available at malls, shops and supermarkets, said an ABP Desam report.
