The El Niño represents a substantial threat to pastures, affecting the availability of water, forage and compromising sustainability grazing areas, especially in northern region Brazil. Therefore, objective this study was characterize thermographic profile three production systems Eastern Amazon, conducted on rural cattle farm Mojuí dos Campos, Pará, Brazil, between August November 2023. experiment involved livestock systems, including traditional, silvopastoral integrated, with different conditions shade access bathing area. An infrared (IRT) camera used, recording temperatures zones, such as areas trees, pastures exposed pastures. highest mean (p = 0.02) were observed full sun from November. On other hand, lowest average recorded shaded by chestnut trees (Bertholletia excelsa). temperature ranges found sunny areas. pasture sun, while < 0.0001). interaction treatments revealed significant differences 0.0001), native showing an 35.9 °C, lower than grasses soil, which reached 61.2 °C. This research concludes that, under Brazil nut had temperatures, demonstrating effectiveness shade. Native compared showed ability create cooler environments, highlighting positive influence species sheep, goats cattle.
