Both animals and employees need to improve the indoor conditions in livestock barns keep them at an optimum level. With development of automation systems for increased productivity mechanisation, more systematic production occurs within poultry houses a workforce is reduced. However, increase industrialisation herd size can cause noise pollution problems house.

It aimed be assessed according environmental animal welfare. was corridors between rows cages on floors with studied facility's meter (EXTECH SDL600). The obtained data determined by SPSS statistical program, variance analysis differences relationship layer house factors (temperature, humidity wind speed) regression analysis. According results throughout year investigated enterprise, maximum intensity as 80.6 dB, minimum 76.3 dB. values aisles are significant.
