Popis: This study was conducted to investigate the effects ofmusic on growth performance, carcass and meat quality characteristics and feed conversionrate in broilers. The study was conducted with 630 broiler chicks. One hundredfive broiler chicks were randomly distributed into six groups with 105 birds ineach. Of these, three groups were treatment groups and three groups werecontrol groups. The animals in the experimental group were exposed to 78 dBmusic in intervals of 5 minutes and 5-minute pauses over a period of 6 weeks. Astandard supply program was applied in the study. The animals in the study wereweighed every week and the increase of the body weight was determined. Whilethere was a statistically significant difference in feed conversion rate betweentreatment and control group (P0.05). However, the differences between theheart and liver weights of control and experiment groups were statistically highlysignificant (P
