Abstract: Music is a form of artistic expression created by humans using sound. A large number of studies have shown that part of music has a certain positive impact on humans and animals. This article reviews the effects of music on animal behavior, neuroendocrine function, immunity function and productive performance, as well as the potential regulatory mechanism of music on animals, in hoping to provide a theoretical basis for further applying music as a technical way to regulate the welfare and physiological activities of animals.

Key words: music, animal behavior, neuroendocrine, immunity, productive performance
