“…In contrast, research conducted by Baldini shows higher emission factors in cubicles covered with straw (Baldini et al, 2016). Also, differences of NH 3 emissions observed between tied and loose housing were observed by Poteko et al (2019). A mechanical ventilation system was used and ammonia concentration was measured 10 times per hour from exhaust air.…”

“…Literature analysis shows that authors from across Europe describe the problem of harmful gases in connection with animal production. We have some works from Poland Herbut and Angrecka (2014) and Pietrzak (2006)-and abroad- Demmers et al (1998), Dore et al (2004), Jungbluth et al (2001), Mohn et al (2018) and Poteko et al (2019). Tied-up cattle barns were under observation using measurements of ventilation rate and concentration of harmful ammonia gas (Karłowski et al, 2008).…”

The aim of the study was to present the scale of greenhouse gas emissions from animal production, and to provide test results from different housing systems. In three free stall buildings, two with slurry in deep channels and one with cattle in cubicles staying on shallow litter concentration of ammonia and carbon dioxide were measured in summer season by using dedicated equipment from Industrial Scientific Research. Air exchange was calculated on the base of balance carbon dioxide method. This method was used in order to estimate the air flow rate. Concentrations of ammonia and CO2 were measured as the base for air exchange and ammonia emission rates. Ammonia emissions were product of ammonia concentration and air exchange rate. Temperature and relative humidity were measured to establish microclimate conditions in buildings tested to show the overall microclimatic situation in buildings. Differences between ammonia emission rates were observed in both housing systems. The highest ammonia emission rate was equal to 2.75 g·h−1·LU−1 in well-ventilated cattle barn with the largest herd size.

“…A reliable correlation was found between their concentration and indoor air temperature. A meta-analysis of a wide range of data on the influence of various factors on NH 3 and CH 4 emissions (Poteko et al, 2019) indicates the dependence of their level on the system of keeping, quantity, breed and productivity of animals, type of floor and air temperature, type of the farm structure and ventilation, and also feeding and herd management strategies.…”

“…The greatest influence on the physiological state and productivity of cows is exerted by temperature, humidity, air velocity and barns illumination (Ilin & Vtoryiy, 2017;Yano et al, 2018;. The content of carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and more recently methane as a greenhouse gas, is also subject to control (Poteko et al, 2019;Sanchis et al, 2019).…”

Modern non-insulated barns (NB) for free-stall housing of dairy cows differ from traditional (typical) capital buildings. The formation of the microclimate in such farms is significantly dependent on the state of the environment and their design features. The aim of the work was to give a review of the literature and the results of our own research on creating comfortable conditions for dairy cows in the NB. Our studies indicate the heterogeneity of the microclimate formation in different parts of the NB, which was largely due to the state of the external environment. The use of only natural ventilation through open side curtains and light ridges, as well as additional mechanical ventilation (due to horizontal axial fans) cannot always provide comfortable conditions for animals, especially in hot periods of the year. The literature analysis showed that this can be caused by factors affecting the formation and movement of air masses in the building itself (depending on the number of animals, the condition of the litter, the operation of internal equipment, including space-planning and design features, type and quality of materials of enclosing structures) as well as the weather conditions outside buildings (temperature, humidity, wind strength and also relief). Investigations related to remote methods of microclimate control (using appropriate portable devices) and identification of (critical) control points of deterioration of the air environment in NBs will be promising. Monitoring of them will allow timely to adopt the necessary management decisions for ensuring the comfort of dairy cows in extreme weather conditions. Climate prediction methods based on meteorological data in the area of the NB location and the development of intelligent ventilation systems using mathematical modeling that take into account the behavioral and physiological responses of animals to environmental changes will be especially in demand.

“…Temperature, humidity, air velocity and room illumination have the greatest influence on the milk productivity and physiological state of cows (Ilin, & Vtoryiy, 2017;Yano et al, 2018;Hempel et al, 2019;. The content of carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and more recently methane as a greenhouse gas, is also subject to control (Poteko et al, 2019;Sanchis et al, 2019). The farm structures of lightweight construction (or uninsulated) are considered the most acceptable in terms of both milk production and cow health (Teye et al, 2007;Trofimov et al, 2014).…”

The results of the assessment of the temperature-humidity regime in the modern uninsulated barn in the summer period with external temperature fluctuations from +16.6°С to +37.2°С are presented. It was established that the indoor climate was significantly related to the state of the environment (r=0.95; p 0.001). Significant differences were found in terms of the temperature-humidity index (1.6–5.1 units) in different parts of the building, which may affect the state of comfort of the animals. The use of additional (except natural) ventilation in order to normalize the air environment should be carried out taking into account the time of day and the area of the room.
