Mateus Paranhos da Costa has a degree in Animal Science from São Paulo State University (1981), a specialization in animal behaviour from the University of São Paulo (1986), a master's degree in Animal Science from São Paulo State University, a PhD in Psychobiology from the University of São Paulo (1995) and a post-doctorate in Animal Welfare at University of Cambridge (England), in 1999. He has been working on farm animal welfare science since the early 1980s, addressing mainly the welfare of beef and dairy cattle raised under extensive conditions. In 1986 he got a permanent position at São Paulo State University (UNESP), where he teaches Ethology and Animal Welfare. He has been engaged in many research and extension projects aiming to promote farm animal welfare in Brazil and other countries of Latin America. Most of these projects are developed in cooperation with Brazilian farmers, aiming to offer practical recommendations about how to promote beef and dairy cattle welfare and productivity through improving management skills. Due to his work in promoting the welfare of beef and dairy cattle welfare in Brazil, he was nominated three times (in 2013, 2014 and 2015) as one of the 100 most influential people in the Brazilian agribusiness by the Dinheiro Rural Magazine (a Brazilian farmers' magazine). He published more than 120 scientific papers. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Despite the long history of the use of ranch horses for cattle handling, there is little investment in these animals, being necessary to increase the attention and care on handling procedures and the acquisition of appropriate equipment to improve the welfare of these animals. The objectives of this study are: 1) to evaluate the distribution of pressure forces of two kinds of saddles (wit…
The aim of this study is to characterize the welfare status of horses used during beef cattle management, through the following approaches: i) to develop and validate equine welfare indicators undergoing work routines in beef cattle farms and ii) identifying from the usual management systems, those that threat the welfare of the horses. Fourteen clinically healthy horses belonging to The …
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of multisensory stimulation (visual, tactile and auditory) in reducing the stress at weaning of dairy calves. Twenty-four dairy calves from birth until 90 days of age will be assessed. Calves will receive tactile stimulation from the 1st to 35th day of life, them they will be divided into two groups I and II, with twelve animals each. From t…

The aim of the study is to evaluate the inflammatory and energetic profile of dairy calves from 1st to 90th day of life and to study the effect of multisensory stimulation (visual, tactile and auditory) on the immune response at the weaning period. The adipocytokine leptin and cytokines IL-1², IL-6, IL-10, INF-³ and TNF-± will be quantified in twenty-four calves across the first three mon…
The aims of this study are to assess of behavior and in particular facial expressions as animal based welfare indicators in ranch horses; and to evaluate the relationship between body behavior and facial expressions with other welfare indicators, as described in the Fapesp Project n. 2015/14421-3. Fourteen crossbred ranch horses were previously video-recorded during their working routine.…
The aims of this research are to follow the IMPRO project (2012-2016) for to provide results, recommendations and appropriate tools to improve the welfare of dairy cows in organic production in Spain. Furthermore, this research aims to evaluate the welfare of calves kept in these systems to compare them to animals evaluated in Brazil (Phd Scholarship in Brazil), with the purpose of develo…
