The research aims to determine the optimal approaches to design, engineering support, and rational use of resources in the construction and operation of dairy farms. The work indicates that the modern construction of dairy farms is essential to developing the agro-industrial complex since high-quality infrastructure directly affects animal productivity, production efficiency, and environmental safety. Creating modern livestock complexes requires a scientifically sound approach that considers innovative construction methods, optimal technological solutions, and ecological requirements. One of the key theoretical aspects of the effective construction of dairy farms is the combination of architectural, construction, and technological factors. A critical component is ensuring functional relationships between the construction parameters of premises and systems for the mechanization of production processes, which helps to minimize labor costs and improve sanitary and hygienic conditions. The methodological foundations of effective construction include an integrated approach to selecting design solutions, materials, and energy-efficient technologies. An essential step in the development of dairy farm construction is the introduction of environmentally friendly technologies aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment. Organic waste utilization systems, such as biogas plants and manure processing technologies, contribute to the rational use of resources and reduce pollution levels. Thus, the effective construction of dairy farms is based on a sensible combination of scientific approaches, innovative solutions, and environmental responsibility. The development of dairy farms requires introducing energy-efficient technologies, environmentally friendly solutions, and creative approaches to construction. The construction of a dairy farm will be profitable only if the necessary modernization and automation of production are carried out. In this case, the invested funds will pay off in the shortest possible time and will bring income. The introduction of modern technologies and materials increases the productivity of enterprises and the creation of comfortable conditions for animals, which is the key to the sustainable development of the dairy industry.
