[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Horses may not be able to converse with us, but it is now known that horses can interpret our voice pitch. This was proven in a study with horses and pigs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to a new study in the journal “BMC Biology”, horses and pigs can interpret human voice pitch. The animals show that they are influenced by the emotions<\/strong> we carry in our voice when we talk to them. Horses, Asian wild horses and pigs can recognise these differences.<\/p>\n

In the research, human voices with certain emotions were played from hidden loudspeakers. To prevent the experimental animals from reacting to certain words, a professional speaker<\/strong> was organised. This person spoke only Kauderwelsh, i.e. a language that does not exist and has no meaningful sentences.<\/p>\n

Result<\/h2>\n

The result was that the animals reacted more strongly, and usually faster, to a negative-sounding voice. In contrast, when they were addressed with a positively charged voice. In some situations, they even seemed to reflect the emotions<\/strong> they were exposed to.<\/p>\n

The animals’ reactions suggest that humans, with their way of speaking, have an influence on the animals’ well-being. The voice thus has a direct influence on the emotional state of the animals<\/strong>. This is particularly interesting with horses during handling and training. If the animals are addressed with a friendly voice, they are calmer and more relaxed.<\/p>\n
