Enhancing biogas production from poultry waste: kinetics of co-digestion with cow rumen and grass

Uchechukwu Eme-Ukonna, Patrick Tolani, Daniel Okojie, Emeka Victor Osuluka et autres

Nigeria's poultry industry generates substantial waste, posing environmental and health challenges. Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers a solution, converting this waste into biogas. However, poultry dung (PD) alone has suboptimal carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio (∼19.77), limiting biogas yield due to potential ammonia inhibition. This …
