BRUSSELS: Scientists in Belgium are investigating a farmer's claim that different styles of music affect the behaviour of his pigs.
"I thought this is too good to pass up, we should try that with the other pigs too," Paesmans told Reuters from his farm halfway between Brussels and the Dutch border. "Jolly dance songs are the biggest hits. They really start wagging their tails and when it's really dynamic they even start dancing around and frolicking. Rock music is too strong, they don't like it," Paesmans said.
According to project coordinator Sander Palmans, not much is known about pigs' reaction to music but Paesmans' experience chimes with existing knowledge of the effects of sounds in general on animals.
