One-year investigations on microclimatic conditions in a farm with loose housing system of maintenance in litterless boxes, with stationary lines of feed distribution at use of the circulating trough conveyor, of removing excrements by means of a continuous gravitational outflow and of milking in a special room with the access to it through the paddock, were carried out. Mean values of air cooling and movement corresponded with the standards for cowhouses with the loose housing system. The results prove that the stationary system of feed distribution and removal of excrements affects positively the thermic balance of the building.
