The 106-acre hi-tech government dairy farm has a range of animals and birds for visitors to see
Ruffles of green rising in soft waves, arcs of red mud and round rocky hillocks - the 106-acre hi-tech dairy farm at Kuriyottumala is all set to become a major farm tourism destination in South India. Started as a buffalo breeding farm in the 1960s, the government facility went for a modern makeover in 2017 with a range of native cattle breeds and automated amenities. As part of the tourism project, the farm will soon welcome miniature horses, camels and various flightless birds while a string of cottages will be built for the visitors to stay. The latest addition to the farm is a flock of six ostriches while cages are being built for emu and rhea.
