# Home Matthews Research International - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `matthewsresearchinternational.com` ## Description Matthews Research International is a scientific research organisation focused on animal behaviour, welfare and conservation. Led by Dr. Lindsay R. Matthews, an internationally recognised scientist with more than 35 years of experience and over 130 peer-reviewed publications, the organisation works with research colleagues in New Zealand, Germany, the UK, Australia and elsewhere. Its work explores how animal intelligence can help address environmental challenges, how to assess animals’ experiences objectively, and how scientific evidence can improve quality of life for animals. The organisation also investigates behavioural ecology to support animal conservation. Its research brings together practical questions and scientific methods, with findings shared through articles and selected publications. One featured project developed a method for potty training cattle, offering a potential way to capture and treat some cattle urine and reduce the environmental impacts associated with its nitrogen content. The research involved colleagues from German research institutes and the University of Auckland, with support from the Volkswagen Foundation, and was published in Current Biology. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Biology _(under Science and Education)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/id-qcekhdv/w/120/h/120/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1793294331951) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Mantis | #71ce7e | accent | | Camelot | #94314c | dark | | Manatee | #8a8aa3 | light | ## Fonts - Merriweather — asset _(google)_ - Inter — asset _(google)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
