Summary in the original language of the document
The aims of this study were to investigate the presence of heterogeneity in Danish dairy farmers’ preferences for improvements in breeding goal traits by means of a cluster analysis and to associate these clusters with herd characteristics and production system (organic or conventional). The conclusions were that: 1) heterogeneity exists within farmers’ preferences, 2) some herd characteristics can be linked to farmer groups and 3) production system can be linked to farmer groups.
