Abstract
THE effect of music upon fatted cattle, sheep and pigs will again be tried at the London Smithfield Club show in the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington, on December 4-8 next. Milch cows have given a greater volume of milk under the influence of soothing music. This year, scientific investigators in animal foods and nutrition at Smithfield Show are to see whether beasts, which usually lose weight when appearing in fat stock exhibitions, cannot be made to maintain their rate of daily growth, when band music produced from gramophones and loudspeakers is played to keep them from becoming upset by the mobbing received from visitors. The King has entered 29 head of fat cattle, sheep and pigs, and the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Rutland, the Countess of Lonsdale, Lady Loder, Lord Danesbury and Lord Derby will also submit stock before the judges.
