Resumo: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical and sensory characteristics of buffalo meat ended Traditional Systems and Silvopastoral. The experiments were performed in the Research Units Animal "Senator Álvaro Adolpho", SSP installed and "Dr. Philibert Camargo "(ST), belonging to Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, Belém-Pará. After this period the animals were slaughtered at a commercial packing plant and their carcasses were identified and cooled for 24 hours. The right side carcass was cut between the 12th and 13th ribs and removed the Longissimus dorsi (kebabs), for analysis of pH, texture and color lenses, weight loss by cooking, ability to retain water, determining the composition proximate and sensory evaluation. The experimental design was completely randomized, the data submitted to analysis of variance and means were compared by 't' test at 5%. There were no differences (p> 0.05) in chemical composition and physical analysis between meat derived from animals of the two systems. Among the evaluated sensory only the "aroma" differed statistically. It is still early to suggest the use of either system, just based on the quality of meat produced, should be considered also the environmental, social and economic.
