An animal housing arrangement comprising an enclosed area (1) arranged as to house domestic animals and a cooling system (5) for cooling domestic animals, said cooling system (5) comprising a plurality of cooling units (6) provided to generate a flow of a cooling medium that will either directly or indirectly contribute to the cooling of said animals, and a control unit (27) arranged to control the operation of said cooling units (6), wherein said animal housing arrangement comprises an enclosed area (1) which is arranged to house said animals and which is provided with an entrance (3) in one end and an exit (4) at another end, and wherein, in said area, there is provided an element (28) which is arranged to move in a direction from the entrance (3) towards the exit (4) and thereby to permit or force animals to move in said direction inside the enclosed area (1). Said plurality of cooling units (6) are subdivided into at least two separate subgroups (11-15) of cooling units (6), each subgroup (11-15) covering at least a part of said enclosed area (1) and comprising at least one cooling unit (6), wherein the control unit (27) is arranged to detect the position of said element (28) as the latter moves in said direction and to based on this detected position control at least one subgroup (11-15) on a first side of said element (28) to be in active mode and simultaneously control at least one other subgroup (11- 15) on an opposite second side of said element (28) to be in inactive mode.
