	Title	Hearing in large mammals: Horses (Equus caballus) and cattle (Bos taurus)			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1983	Publication	Behavioral Neuroscience	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	97	Issue	2	Pages	299-309
	Keywords	auditory range & sensitivity, horses vs cattle
	Abstract	Determined behavioral audiograms for 3 horses and 2 cows. Horses' hearing ranged from 55 Hz to 33.3 kHz, with a region of best sensitivity from 1 to 16 kHz. Cattle hearing ranged from 23 Hz to 35 kHz, with a well-defined point of best sensitivity at 8 kHz. Of the 2 species, cattle proved to have more acute hearing, with a lowest threshold of –21 db (re 20 μN/m–2) compared with the horses' lowest threshold of 7 db. Comparative analysis of the hearing abilities of these 2 species with those of other mammals provides further support for the relation between interaural distance and high-frequency hearing and between high- and low-frequency hearing.
