Country Music soothes

Whie browsing the net searching for articles on Palmetto Grass, I discovered the following on a U of F Food and Ag Services Forum:
Topic Description: We are currently playing CountryMusic to the pigs on our farm in an effort to reduce stress and enhance growth. We are being pressured by businesses next door to stop the music. We feel this is a common practice to play music to animals and want to hear from anyone who is currently doing this. Also if you are aware of any studies or documentation regarding the effects of music on animals, please post the information here or E-mail the pigfarmer at info@pigfarmer.com. Feel free to visit the pigfarm at www.pigfarmer.com. We are an old fashion pigfarm as you will see from the photos of the farm.
Sorry, I didn't pull up the pictures.

I noticefrom the website that the pig farmer is looking to hear from anyone who has played music to a large number of animals. I think we've all done that

Is that playing country music for a large number of animals or just large animals in general >???
I keep a radio on in the barn 24/7 to soothe the horses.
By the way, The difference between a PSG player & a proctologist ... the Procto only looks at 1 a@@-hole at a time.
