%X O trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o comportamento ingestivo de caprinos das ra as Moxot¨® e Canind¨¦, submetidos a dois n¨ªveis de alimenta  o. Foram utilizados 24 cabritos inteiros (12 Moxot¨® e 12 Canind¨¦) com idade m¨¦dia de quatro meses e peso vivo inicial m¨¦dio de 15 kg, alojados em baias individuais, distribu¨ªdos no delineamentointeiramente casualizado, em um arranjo fatorial 2x2 (duas ra as e dois n¨ªveis de alimenta  o) e seis repeti  es. Os n¨ªveis de alimenta  o foram: ¨¤ vontade (T1) e 30% de restri  o em rela  o ao animal que recebia alimenta  o ¨¤ vontade (T2). As observa  es comportamentais foram realizadas em intervalos de cinco minutos durante 24h. Os animais das ra as Moxot¨® e Canind¨¦ n o apresentaram diferen a significativa (P>0,05) para as vari¨¢veis comportamentaisobservadas. Alimenta  o ¨¤ vontade proporcionou maior atividade de alimenta  o e rumina  o e menor tempo em ¨®cio. As atividades de mic  o, defeca  o e procura por ¨¢gua foram influenciadas pela hora do dia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intake behavior of Moxot¨®and Canind¨¦ breed goats when offered a diet at two levels of intake. Twenty-four noncastrated goats (12 Moxot¨® and 12 Canind¨¦) were used, with an average age of four months and an initial average weight of 15 kg. The goats were housed in individual pens, distributed using a completely randomized design, in a 2x2 factorial arrangement (two breeds and two levels of intake) with six repetitions. The levels of intake offered were: ad libitum (T1) and 30% restriction (T2). The level of restriction was determined in relation to the amount consumed by animals on ad libitum intake. Behavioral observations were made at five-minute intervals during a 24hr period. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the observed behavioral variables between animals of the Moxot¨® and Canind¨¦ breeds. Feeding at the level of free-choice intake resulted in greater feeding and rumination activity, and less idle time. Urination, defecation, and time spent for water consumption were influenced by the time of day.
