The cows, which will have a particularly high milk production, will be imported from New Zealand. The dairy is expected to produce some 400,000 liters of mill a day.

 

Elbit Imaging's revenues totaled about NIS 216 million (about $55.7 million) in the first quarter of the year, compared to NIS 195 million ($50.2 million) in the first quarter of 2008. The net profit ascribed to majority shareholders' part amounted to NIS 21 million ($5.4 million), compared to a loss of NIS 27.3 million ($7 million) in the same quarter last year.
