TL;DR
This study shows that playing music during transportation reduces stress and intestinal inflammation in piglets, unlike noise or no stimulation.
Contribution
The study demonstrates that music reduces HPA axis activity and intestinal inflammation in transported piglets, offering a novel non-pharmacological stress relief method.
Findings
Music lowered adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels compared to control and noise groups.
Music reduced jejunal interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 concentrations, indicating reduced inflammation.
Noise increased oxidative stress markers like reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde compared to music and control groups.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore whether music can reduce stress in animals by regulating the activity of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal cortex (HPA) axis and reducing the concentration of cortisol. The control group was not played with any music or mechanical noise, the music group played music before and during transport, and the noise group played noise before and during transport as a positive control. The results showed that after two-hours of transportation, the concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol in the music group were lower than that in the control and the noise groups, while the cortisol level in the noise group was higher than that in the music and the control groups. Plasma concentrations of D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase in the music group were lower than those in the control group and the noise group, and the noise group was higher…
