The average distance travelled by sheep and goats indicated that goats travel more than sheep (14.3 km vs 10.02 km) and purebred indigenous breeds travel more than crossbreds. The distance travelled per day and physical environment in terms of (THSI) Temperate Humidity Sunshine Index, had a negative correlation both for sheep and goats, and the correlation value was 0.82 and 0.17, respectively, which was significant (P0.05) only in sheep. This indicated that goats are better adapted to hot environment than sheep as reflected from the distance travelled per day  aAnimal ecology  aAnimal husbandry  aGoats  aGrazing intensity  aSheep  aCaprino  aEcologia Animal  aOvino  aSistema de Pastejo1 aMAITRA, D.
