%X O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG), Patos, Para¨ªba, Brasil com o objetivo de avaliar a procura de ¨¢gua e sombra por caprinos F1 Boer x SRD terminados em pastagem nativa e submetidos ¨¤ suplementa  o. Utilizou-se 28 caprinos n o castrados, com 120 dias de idade e peso vivo inicial de 15,52kg, distribu¨ªdos em quatro n¨ªveis de suplementa  o (0,0; 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5% do peso vivo em MS), com sete repeti  es. Os avaliadores passaram por treinamento para aprimorar a metodologia e para adapta  o dos animais ¨¤s suas presen as. Os dados foram obtidos atrav¨¦s da observa  o da frequ¨ºncia de procura de ¨¢gua e sombra pelos animais durante o pastejo di¨¢rio em tr¨ºs ¨¦pocas: junho, julho e agosto. N o houve diferen a entre tratamentos para procura por ¨¢gua e a frequ¨ºncia observada foi de 71,43; 80,95; 88,89 e 77,78% para os tratamentos 0,0; 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5% de suplementa  o, respectivamente. N o houve efeito dos tratamentos na procura por sombra e a frequ¨ºncia observada foi de 71,43; 85,71; 94,44 e 94,44% nos tratamentos 0,0; 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5% de suplementa  o respectivamente. A suplementa  o n o altera a frequ¨ºncia de procura de ¨¢gua por caprinos F1 Boer x SRD terminados em pastagem nativa. Os n¨ªveis de suplementa  o e as ¨¦pocas n o influenciaram a procura de sombra. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Patos, Paraiba, Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the search for water and shade by Boer goats crossbreeds finished in native pasture under different supplementation levels. Twenty-eight Boer goats crossbreeds, non castrated, with 120 days old and an initial live body weight of 15.52Kg, were used. The treatments were randomly assigned to the animals according to a completely randomized design, with 4 feeding supplementations levels (0.0; 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5% of live body weight on Dry matter) and seven replications (goats). Data were obtained through the observation of the search frequency for water and shade by the animals during the daily grazing in three times: June, July and August. There wasn¡¯t difference among treatments for search for water and the frequency observed was of 71.43, 80.95, 88.89 and 77.78% for the treatments 0.0; 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5% of feeding supplementation, respectively. There wasn¡¯t effect of the treatments in the search for shade and the frequency observed was of 71.43, 85.71, 94.44 and 94.44% in the treatments 0.0; 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5% of feeding supplementation, respectively. The feeding supplementation level doesn't alter the search frequency of water
