The continuous search for alternatives that allow mitigating methane emissions has led to the use of secondary plant metabolites in ruminant diets. The rational use of tannins is an important dietary measure for methane reduction; however, their variable effect depends largely on their plant origin, type, dosage and the substrates on which it acts. In this context, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion level of grape seed tannins (GST) on methane production and in vitro fermentation parameters in barley straw (BS) and alfalfa hay (AH). For this purpose, 40 glass bottles were used, and randomly distributed in six treatments (three levels: 0, 4 and 8 percent GST in two substrates: barley straw and alfalfa hay) considering six replicates per treatment, in addition to four blanks. Organic matter digestibility (OMD), gas production (GP), methane (CH4), ammonia nitrogen (NH3) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were determined using the in vitro gas production technique. Data were subjected to ANOVA under DCA with 3*2 factorial arrangements and comparison of means was performed by Tukey's test using Rstudios 4.2.2 statistical software. OMD and NH3 concentration were affected (p < 0.05) by the level*substrate interaction, noting that the inclusion level of 8 percent GST reduced organic matter digestibility in BS, it also reduced ammonia nitrogen concentration in AH. There was no significant effect of the interaction of the evaluated factors on the variables GP, CH4 and VFAs. When evaluating individual performance of the factors, gas and methane production decreased with the inclusion of 8 percent GST (p < 0.05). The concentration of propionic, isobutyric, isovaleric and valeric acids were affected (p < 0.05) due to substrate type but there was no influence due to interaction level*substrate and inclusion level. Propionic acid concentration was higher in BS, however, isobutyric, isovaleric and valeric acid concentration was higher in AH. In conclusion, the interaction of the factors with an inclusion level of 8 percent of GST reduced OMD and NH3 in BS and AH but there was no mitigating effect of CH4 nor were changes found in GP and VFAs, despite this, the analysis of the individual impact of the inclusion level factor indicates that CH4 production decreases when including 8 percent GST.
