Abstract
Farm animal welfare has become increasingly important in public debates. This study uses aninterval regression approach to estimate German dairy farmers' willingness to change selectedanimal welfare-related farming practices. The analysis reveals that the highest price premiums arerequired for implementing cow-calf rearing and accepting a herd size limit, while farmers providedeep cubicles and ample space without premiums. Furthermore, farms with large herds requirehigher compensation to provide pasture grazing than smaller farms. Overall, we find no simplerelationship between farm size and the willingness to change animal welfare-related practices
