Resumen: Despite studies conducted with other seaweed species on in vitro gas production, until now, no studies have been reported on the use of pelagic Sargassum as potential ruminant feed. Thus, the objective of the present study was to determine the effect of Sargassum inclusion, using tropical grass as substrate, on in vitro gas production kinetics. Additionally, heavy metals and macro- and microminerals were determined in Sargassum. For that, in vitro incubations were performed with different levels of Sargassum inclusion on a basal substrate (Stargrass hay). In vitro results showed that up to 30% pelagic Sargassum could be included in hay-based substrates from tropical grasses.
