A Belgian farmers find that their pigs like to listen to music cheerful dance music are the most popular

According to a report by the Fox News Network on July 28, a farmer named Piet Paesmans in Belgium claimed that his pigs would have different reactions to different styles of music. Scientists are investigating and studying.

On one occasion, Paesman's son hummed in the pigpen, and the pigs in it seemed to start to become excited and even started to shake his tail. Paesmans said, "I think this is too interesting, we should try it on other pigs."

Paesmans will now play different music to pigs at different times of the day. For example, when he wants to make a pig active, he will play cheerful music. At the end of the day, he will change to the corridor. When talking about pigs' preferences, Paesmans said: "The cheerful dance music is the most popular. If the song I play is particularly cheerful, they will shake their tails, and even dance and play together. This kind of music is too strong, they don't like it very much. "

"There is no doubt that specific sounds will have a specific impact on animals. Therefore, music is likely to play the same role. Music can help animals alleviate the boring sense of stress." Sander Palmans said. Paesmans said that these new discoveries may have an impact on the meat industry because the meat of animals is affected by stress.

It is reported that the research results are expected to be announced at the end of this year.

Of course, pigs are not the only animals that will react to music. For example, a study by the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2015 found that cats have a sensitive response to certain types of music. At that time, scientists tried to create attractive music for cats. In order to test, the main author of the study, Charles Snowden and his partner played music for 47 cats.

This study found that cats' positive response to music is whining and walking towards speakers, and negative reactions are hissing and arched back. When they listen to the music suitable for cats, the reaction is much more positive than listening to human music. (Compilation report of China Youth Network)
