Abstract
*Sargassum fusiforme*, a brown algae, offers fiber and minerals for ruminant diets. In vitro tests at varying doses (1-10%) showed increased total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations at 1% and 10%, alongside decreased gas, methane, and carbon dioxide emissions at 3 and 24 hours of incubation at 10%. In situ trials compared *S. fusiforme* degradation to timothy hay. ¹H NMR spectroscopy revealed mannitol, guanidoacetate, and ethylene glycol as major metabolites. While arsenic was present, it was within allowable limits. *S. fusiforme* shows potential as a renewable ruminant feed ingredient, offering nutritional and environmental benefits.
