Abstract

The rodeo is a common practice in Brazil and abroad. This activity makes the relationship between man and animal greater, and it causes behavior variations. This study aimed to assess the variations in behavior of bulls in rodeo. 228 bulls in rodeos were observed in the cities of Ibiá, Monte Alegre de Minas, Uberaba and Uberlândia (MG). The rodeo was divided into three phases: brete, work. The animals were observed following three parameters of behavior: gentle, normal and aggressive. The statistical analysis (z test) showed statistically significant differences in the evaluated numbers. We conclude that the rodeo bulls change their behavior between the phases of work brete and increased aggression and between phases of work and return, the Bulls remain the behavior or decrease aggression.
