The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two styles of classical music, based on different tempos (BPM), on the physiological and blood parameters of horses during social isolation and restriction of movements. First experiment was carried out using nine horses of no defined breed, distributed in Control, Slow-tempo music and Moderate-tempo music .For social isolation and restriction of movement, the animals were housed daily in individual stalls for two hours and exposed to the stimuli for 60 min, and eye temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were assessed. The second experiment was carried out using ten horses of no defined breed, distributed in a randomized design in treatments: Slow-tempo Music and Moderate-tempo Music. Blood samples were taken at the start and end of the experimental period to assess hematological and biochemical parameters and serum serotonin levels. Horses exposed to moderate-tempo music showed an increase in serum calcium levels, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and total hemoglobin concentration, as well as a reduction in lymphocytes. Both types of music led to a significant increase in serotonin levels after one week of stimulation. Both musical rhythms are appropriate for promoting the well-being and health of stabled horses.
本研究的目的是评估两种基于不同节拍（每分钟节拍数）的古典音乐风格，对马匹在社会隔离和行动受限期间的生理和血液参数的影响。第一个实验使用了九匹未明确品种的马，分为对照组、慢节奏音乐组和中节奏音乐组。为了进行社会隔离和限制行动，每天将动物安置在单独的马厩中两小时，并暴露于刺激下60分钟，同时评估眼温、心率和呼吸频率。第二个实验使用了十匹未明确品种的马，按照随机设计分为慢节奏音乐组和中节奏音乐组。在实验期开始和结束时采集血样，以评估血液学和生化参数以及血清5-羟色胺水平。暴露于中节奏音乐的马匹血清钙水平、平均红细胞血红蛋白含量（MCH）和总血红蛋白浓度有所增加，淋巴细胞数量减少。两种类型的音乐在刺激一周后均导致5-羟色胺水平显著升高。两种音乐节奏都适合促进圈养马匹的健康和福祉。
