Rural food for thought on noise impact on farm livestock
Agriculture Department scientists report farm animals tolerate loud noise without lasting distress. Jersey cows’ milk flow recovered after a 30 minute pause from exploding paper bags while 42 dairy herds and other livestock showed no reaction to aircraft flyovers or sonic booms. Sows and hogs remained unsettled briefly to loud tones, but overall growth and birth weights stayed steady, questioning the idea of porkers reacting to “different frequencies of sound.”
