Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1. Method for evaluating the impact of music stimulation on weaned piglets

[0030] 1. Treatment of weaned piglets: test group I (playing classical music Mozart K.448 every day from 10:00-16:00, loudness positioning to 60dB), test group II (playing the original The background noise recorded in the feeding environment mainly includes mechanical noises such as fans and the noise of pigs, and the loudness is 80dB), and the experimental group III is the control group (the daily sound range is 20dB, and music intervention is not performed on weaned piglets, but it is the same as the music stimulation group). , placing a music player, but not playing music).

[0031] 2. The weaned piglets of the above-mentioned three test groups were respectively raised in three environmental control rooms with the same structure (sound insulation, consistent temperature and humidity adjustment). The schematic diagram of the environmental control room is as follows: figure 1 As shown...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Example 2. Method for evaluating the impact of music stimulation on weaned piglets

[0041] Step is identical with the step of embodiment 1, except test group I (play classical music Mozart K.448 every day at 10:00-16:00, the loudness is positioned to 70dB), test group II (play commercial music every day at 10:00-16:00 The background noise recorded in the original feeding environment of piglets in the piggery mainly includes mechanical noises such as fans and pig noises, with a loudness of 85dB), and the experimental group III is the control group (the daily sound loudness is 40dB, no music intervention is performed on weaned piglets, but with As in the music stimulus group, a music player was placed, but no music was played).

[0042] Use the following experiments to verify the effect:

[0043] Randomly select 12 weaned piglets that have undergone the open field test, and inject them with pentobarbital sodium to euthanize them, then quickly remove the brains and place...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for evaluating influence of music stimulation on weaned piglets, and belongs to the field of animal husbandry. The invention aims to judge the influence of music on the emotional response of the weaned piglets. The invention provides the method for evaluating the influence of music stimulation on the weaned piglets. The method comprises the following steps: firstly processing the weaned piglets, playing a group of classical music Mozart K.448, positioning the loudness to 60-70dB, playing a group of background noise loudness recorded by original breeding environment of commercial pigsty piglets to 80-85dB, and not performing music intervention on the piglets in a sound loudness range of 20-40dB; and performing an open field test on the weaned piglets for 5 minutes, then performing a novelty test for 5 minutes, and finally, performing statistics on behaviors of all the weaned piglets. Whether classical music improves the positive emotion of the piglets or not and whether environmental background noise causes negative influence on the piglets or not are studied, and a theoretical basis is provided for improving animal welfare and health levels by applying a music means in production practice.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular relates to a method for evaluating the influence of music stimulation on weaned piglets. Background technique [0002] As music has been increasingly used in human studies, it has also been increasingly used as a means of environmental enrichment in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. It has been reported that music, as a kind of regular sound, can enrich the auditory environment of domestic animals, and has many benefits in behavior, emotion and brain nervous system development. Using chimpanzees as research subjects, Videan found that instrumental music can increase the attachment behavior of males and females, and vocal music and slow-paced light music can effectively reduce the fighting behavior of male chimpanzees. In addition, music can increase the play behavior of weaned piglets, and reduce the aggressive behavior and the degree and number of injuries when weaning ...
