Measurement methods of milking parlour indoor climate parameters and milkers' energy consumption have been studied. The results of measurements are presented. Indoor air temperatures and relative humidity were recorded in heated and unheated milking parlours. Simultaneously the outdoor air temperature was measured. The indoor air parameters were measured in the working zone of milkers' hands, near the cow's udder, 1.2 m above the milkers pit floor. Seasonal alteration of the parameters is presented in Fig.1., 2. For the measurements of milkers' energy consumption electronic sensors, pulse recorders and PC were used. Milkers' work ergonomical parameters were determined.
