This study was conducted to investigate the effects of
music on growth performance, carcass and meat quality characteristics and feed conversion
rate in broilers. The study was conducted with 630 broiler chicks. One hundred
five broiler chicks were randomly distributed into six groups with 105 birds in
each. Of these, three groups were treatment groups and three groups were
control groups. The animals in the experimental group were exposed to 78 dB
music in intervals of 5 minutes and 5-minute pauses over a period of 6 weeks. A
standard supply program was applied in the study. The animals in the study were
weighed every week and the increase of the body weight was determined. While
there was a statistically significant difference in feed conversion rate between
treatment and control group (P<0.05), no statistically significant differences
were found for live weight except for Week 4, carcass weight, leg weight, chest
weight and gizzard weight (P>0.05). However, the differences between the
heart and liver weights of control and experiment groups were statistically highly
significant (P<0.01). Also the chemical composition of the meat sample was
analyzed for the treatment and control groups. According to the analysis, there
were statistically highly significant differences between treatment and control
group in crude protein (P<0.01), and statistically significant effects on
crude fat (P<0.05), while there were no statistically significant effects on
dry matter and crude ash.
