Music Improves Chicken Farming in Taiwan

Music Improves Chicken Farming in Taiwan

This article from "Poultry World" discusses an innovative approach to chicken farming in Taiwan, where the government has implemented a program allowing chickens to listen to music. The central focus is on a specific chicken farmer who saw significant benefits, including a reduced growth period for the chickens, leading to substantial savings on feed costs. Furthermore, the music is reported to result in calmer birds and higher quality meat that is in high demand, even internationally, with the chickens receiving certification for being raised without pharmaceutical residues. The concept was inspired by similar successful practices with pigs and cows in Australia and New Zealand, highlighting a growing trend in animal husbandry.
