Abstract
The article presents the results of assessing the animal comfort by the temperature-humidity index and identifies the dependences of barn indoor climate formation under different space and layout solutions. The air temperature, humidity, ammonia and carbon dioxide concentrations were measured at nine points in two barns with loose cow housing system to estimate the effect of space and layout solutions on the indoor climate. The study results proved this effect also to depend on external weather conditions. The obtained linear regression equations will contribute to forecasting the indoor climate changes and help to mitigate the possible negative consequences such as the heat stress in animals.
