A Holstein-Friesian breed calf looks out of its pen at the Bhagyalaxmi Dairy Farm located northeast of the Indian city of Pune. With a herd of more than 3,000 cows, a state-of-the-art milking parlour and on-site bottling plant using French technology, it's a far cry from traditional Indian dairy farming by villagers with just one or two cattle.
