The pigsty inner climate is in strong correlation with the outdoor climate and tending work carried out inside. Up to now main research has been conducted to investigate air temperature and relative humidity, in order to be able to offer solutions to pigsty ventilation. At the same time few data can be found about pigsty air gas content depending on tending work. With the aim of investigating the impact of tending work on the pigsty air content and quality, a research was conducted to measure the air temperature, relative humidity and the contents of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ammonia at these pigsties at winter time diurnally from the height of 1.5 meters and at daytime from different places at the heights of 0.1, 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 meters. At the same time the chronometric research of pigsty workers was conducted. To measure the inner climate Data Logger, the appropriate sensors and computer program AMR Win Control were used. At the same time the winter outdoor air temperature and relative humidity was measured using Rotronic logger. The results of the research presented in the paper concern the air temperature, relative humidity and the contents of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ammonia of working environment, measured in different places and heights of the room during tending work.
