The purpose of this thesis is to prepare a plan for a modern cattle barn at the farm Sušnik while taking into consideration the standards and recommendations from literature. At the Sušnik's farm we want to arrange a barn for 30 dairy cows, young cattle and fatlings on a surface limited area. For that reason we focused on the sistem of lying boxes for dairy cows and on the deep litter system for young cattle. There are presented different types of milking parlours that are suitable for mentioned herd and also for bigger herds of dairy cows. In the thesis we also presented different solutions for ventilation and different systems of building – from one-building to multi-building barns – as our barn is going to be at out farm. In addition the thesis also presents different functional areas in a barn, such as beds, a release, a calving pen and boxes for sick animals etc. More important elements of lying boxes we have to consider to enable cows to be comfortable are presented in closer detail. The advantages of full and grid floors in barns with lying boxes are also presented. The thesis also talks about the imporance of the light and temperature and the aspects we have to take into account here. At the end there is an example of a modern barn for dairy cows, young cattle and fatlings that takes into consideration all the previously mentioned parametres.
