While it seems incredible to play music to cows, breeder Guo Zhixin actually hires a musician to play music to his dairy cows for one hour every morning, saying beautiful meledies can make his cows produce more milk.

Guo, who raises 860 cows on his farm in a village near city Luoyang, central China's Henan Province, says playing music to cows brings forth one more kilo of milk from every cow, every day, resulting in 700 yuan's more worth of milk every year, reported chinanews.com on Monday.

Guo began offering music sessions for his cows last March, when he learned the idea from a foreign cow magazine.
