The meat and milk consumption system is a common and necessary practice in many countries. Recently, there has been a growing concern to design and improve animal comfort and well-being. Thus, the objective of this review is to describe the types of confinement currently available for dairy herds and to highlight the characteristics of each system, like free stall, tie stall, loose housing e compost barn. Animals in confinement can have an acceptable level of welfare and comfort if adequate facilities and good animal health and care practices are in place. The study concluded that the trend is to increase the number of confinements in Brazil and in the world, due to the lack of large extensions of land close to large urban centers and consumer demands.
