The elephant transit home, Athuru Sevana at Udawalawa needs milk foods to feed the baby elephants who have been taken to the elephant transit home after being stranded in the wilds.

These abandoned and orphaned baby elephants should be fed with milk till they develop their trunks and are ready to return to the wilds.

The aim of the elephant transit home is to rescue the stranded baby elephants, tagged and specially sented with a cocktail of their own DUNG to remove traces of human odour that will be repulsive to wild elephants.
