Abstract: 

This research experiment was conducted in the town of Kessab in Latakia Governorate, Syrian Arab Republic, during the period 2022 (September – October). To investigate the effect of two different types of music classical (T₁) and random (T₂), in addition to the control treatment (T₀) without music on the body weight, and the behavior performance in terms of eating habit and aggressiveness for a sample of quail.A total of (180) chicks quails were randomly distributed into three treatments (60) bird each treatment and were replicated three times with (20) quails per replication, using the completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that a statistically significant (P≤0.05)were observed among the averages of the treatments.The averages of the body weights for the three treatments at the end of the experiment period in the 6^th week were as the following: (T₁) 209.93 g, (T₂) 212.62 g and (T₀) 194.39 g. In conclusion, results of studies showed that classical and random music has positive effects on body weight and behavioralfeatures, according to the results, that music have significant effects and improved the productivity and decreased the stress factor in birds.

Keywords:Quails, Classical music, Random music, Body weight, Behavior performance.
