About the Cover

This research experiment was conducted in the broiler laboratory in the Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Tishreen University, Lattakia Governorate, Syria. During the period of 2023. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exposing fertile eggs of the Syrian local hens to random music in artificial hatcheries. Total of (180) eggs were randomly distributed into tow treatment (90) eggs each treatment and were replicated three times with (30) eggs per replication, using the completely randomized design (CRD). The first treatment (T1) was exposed to a random music program for (12) hours, and the second treatment was the control (T0) without music. The results showed that a statistically significant (p<0.05) were observed among the tow treatment, the averages of the hatchability (%) for the music treatment (T1) were (90.87) % and the control (T0) (83.53) %, as for the hatching time (481.6, 490.7) h respectively. And for the live body weights on the 1st and the 7th day were (T1) (37.56, 117.89) g and (T0) (35.76, 105.66) g respectively. Using the music system (12) hours a day have positive role, it contributed to stimulating embryonic growth and increase the hatchability %, and synchronization of the hatching process for the entire batch. Also increased the averages live body weight of the chicks, and improved the quality and performance of newly hatched chicks, as it reduced the chicks’ fear stress factor, and improved the birds’ adaptation and acclimatization to the new environment after hatching.
