| Abstract | Abstract: This experiment investigated the effect of anaerobic co-digestion of cow manure, chicken manure and pig manure at the different feed ratios under mesophilic conditions. Experiments were conducted, and results obtained from a batch anaerobic digester operating at mesophilic temperature of 37 0C and pH of around 7 was used to determine the accumulation of biogas production. The carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratios of cow, chicken and pig manure mixtures were found to be 17,07 %, 9,91 % and 9,08 % respectively which is reasonable considering the fact that only manures are digested. The results show that a ratio of 4:1:1 cow, chicken and pig manures performed best during the experiment and it is further recommended that these mixtures should be co-digested with grass or food wastes to better results. |
