Jun 1, 2022 · Finally, we introduce a conceptual framework for Auditory Enrichment Research, which underlines that music is not necessarily special and should be treated as any other auditory stimulus, and argue that the specific welfare goals, animals’ perceptual abilities, and musical features must all be considered when studying how music or other sounds can be used to improve animal welfare.
1. Introduction. Environmental enrichment using music therapy can be used to improve animal welfare and has positive behavioral effects and stress relief, as reported in several species (de Jonge et al., 2008; Alworth & Buerkle, 2013; Wiśniewska et al., 2018) [1,2,3].
