Testing the thermoregulatory and behavior responses in buffalo in the eastern Amazon, three experiments were conducted at Embrapa Amazônia Oriental (01 ° .26'.03 "S and 48 ° .26'.03" W) in the period July 2013 to June 2014, with 24 buffaloes crossbred Murrah / Mediterranean. That were in paddocks with Brachiaria brizantha (cv. Marandu) in a rotational system with drinking water and mineral salt at will. Experiment 1 aimed to evaluate the effects of climate and the inclusion of four levels (0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1% of PV) of palm kernel cake in thermoregulation of buffaloes. Air temperature data were recorded (AT), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature, wet bulb temperature, black globe temperature (BGT), rectal temperature (RT), temperature of the body surface (TBS), respiratory rate (RR). Daily, animals received food into individual troughs and the diet was adjusted by reweighing of animals every 28 days. It was concluded that there is no effect of palm kernel cake on thermoregulation of buffaloes. The second experiment aimed to study the exchange capacity and daily heat preservation buffaloes and lasted six days. Physiological (RT, RR and TBS by infrared thermography) and climate (TA, UR, TG) at 6:00 am, 9:00 am, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00. Although exposed to adverse weather conditions, the buffalo are able to return to homeostasis in the evening, indicating that the species has great adaptive capacity. Finally, the experiment 3 aimed to study the inclusion of palm kernel cake, at different levels (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1% of PV) is able to change the behavior of buffalo raised on pasture. The experiment was conducted in two seasons (wettest and less rain). Climate variables are as described in experiment 1. The behavioral analysis (grazing, ruminating, leisure and other activities) was carried out between 6:00 a.m. and 18:00 for three consecutive days in each collection campaign. 24 buffaloes were used, six for each treatment. The test diet does not influence the buffalo behavior. Despite suffering physiological and behavioral changes due to the effect of environmental variables, especially in the period with higher temperatures, buffaloes showed its ability to return to homeostasis as the temperature became milder, indicating great adaptive capacity.
