The evaluation of ingestive behavior in animal production allows the development of management techniques and to verify the effects of feeding and the quality of the offered diet, in addition to the selectivity for food. The objective of this work was to evaluate the ingestive behavior of confined sheep fed different levels of cupuaçu seeds in replacement of corn. Twenty male sheep, aged 10 ± 1 months, mixed breed, with initial weight of 25.9 ± 3.7 kg were used. The experimental design used was completely randomized. The experimental design used was completely randomized. Observations of the ingestive behavior of the sheep were carried out directly, with instant recording in two periods of 48 consecutive hours. The data were submitted to regression analysis, at the level of 5% of significance. The consumption of dry matter and the efficiency of feeding dry matter decreased linearly, and the feeding time was similar as the replacement of the corn grain by the cupuaçu seed occurred. For the consumption of neutral detergent fiber and the rumination time generated quadratic equations, with maximum points of 47.9 and 53.5% of substitution. The leisure time had a quadratic effect, however with a minimum point of 51.3%. The replacement of the corn grain by the cupuaçu seed alters the ingestive behavior and it is suggested to replace the corn grain by the cupuaçu seed up to the level of 50% in the feed of sheep in intensive confined system.
