The work deals with the study of different housing systems and innovative solutions for the construction and design of dairy cow barns. The new barns for dairy cows, young cattle and calves should provide the most optimal conditions for housing the animals. Society requires farmers to design barns that are animal and environmentally friendly. For the farmer, it is important that the work in the barn is done efficiently and that his safety is ensured as much as possible. The aim of the thesis is to gain insight into the relevant literature and to present a conceptual plan for a dairy cow barn on the family farm Strniša. The farm is engaged in milk production and currently milks 65 Holstein dairy cows in a free stall barn with cubicles built in 2004. In the second part of the paper we present the existing barn with all functional areas of the barn. Since the current barn is overcrowded, we decided to build a new barn for 70 dairy cows, where milking will be done with a milking robot. The current barn is too small and outdated, so the investment in a new barn with milking robot makes sense. In the concept of the new barn for dairy cows, we have provided space for a milking robot, with the possibility of expanding it and possibly installing another milking robot in the coming years. With this plan we want to improve milking efficiency and adapt the farm to new standards in dairy cow breeding.
