Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different types of music on growth performance, slaughter performance, digestive organ indexes, immune function and serum antioxidant indexes of broilers. A total of 360 one-day-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 15 broilers per replicate. The control group did not play music, while the pop music group, classical music group and folk music group played related types of pure music, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the average daily gain (ADG) of broilers in classical music group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the feed to gain ratio was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with control group, eviscerated percentage of broilers in classical music group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Ileum relative length of broilers in experimental groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The jejunum relative length of broilers in classical music group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, thymus index of broilers in pop music group and classical music group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and bursa of Fabricius index of broilers in experimental groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). 5) Compared with control group, the contents of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in serum of broilers in classical music group and pop music group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 6) Serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of broilers in classical music group was significantly higher than that in control group, pop music group and folk music group (P<0.05). The activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in serum of broilers in classical music group and pop music group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, playing different types of music has different effects on growth performance, slaughter performance, digestive organ indexes, immune function and serum antioxidant indexes of broilers. Taking all indicators into consideration, the improvement effect of classical music on broilers is better than that of pop music and folk music.
