The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies aimed at The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state and prospects for implementing innovative technologies to create an optimal microclimate in livestock housing facilities. It is substantiated that the establishment of a stable temperature and humidity regime, appropriate air velocity, and permissible concentrations of harmful gases are decisive factors for realizing the genetic productivity potential of animals and maintaining their health.
Special attention is paid to intelligent automated control systems based on the principles of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The mechanisms of modern energy-efficient ventilation systems are considered, particularly systems with heat recovery (recuperation), which significantly reduce energy consumption during the winter period. The study describes adiabatic cooling technologies (fogging systems) and their effectiveness in counteracting heat stress in cattle and pigs under global warming conditions.
Innovative approaches to environmental monitoring using non-contact sensors and thermal imaging cameras, which allow for the real-time detection of animal discomfort zones, are investigated. The author emphasizes the use of renewable energy sources (solar collectors, geothermal heat pumps) to ensure the autonomy of livestock complexes. It is determined that the integration of digital platforms for Big Data analysis allows for predicting microclimate changes and automatically adapting equipment operation, thereby minimizing the impact of the human factor.
The conclusions emphasize that the transition from traditional methods of environmental parameter regulation to Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) ensures not only improved animal welfare but also increases the economic profitability of production by reducing feed and energy resource costs. The implementation of "smart" climate control is a key step towards sustainable and competitive agriculture in the digital age.

In June 1994 the 2nd International Scientific and Technical Conference "Application of vibrations for technological purposes" was organized on the basis of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. Leading experts in this field, noting the significant contribution to the school of Vibration Engineering under the leadership of P. S. Bernyk, proposed to create a professional all-Ukrainian scientific and technical journal "Vibration in engineering and technology..The journal was foundedat Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute and P.S. Bernyk was elected to be the chief editor .
For all these years (since 1994) theJournal "vibration in engineering and technology" published 119 issues wherestudy of vibration effects, the creation of progressive energy saving technologies and equipment for their implementation were highlighted.
Currently Ihor Kupchuk, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate professor, Associate Professor of the Department of Engineering Mechanics and Technological Processes in the Agricultural Industry Faculty of Engineering and Technology Vinnytsia National Agrarian University is the chief editor of the "Vibrations in engineering and Technology"
The journal "Vibration in Engineering and technology", which has no analogues on the territory of Ukraine, is well known abroad.
