Abstract
Pakistan can increase the present domestic milk production capacity by modernizing the indigenous dairy farm industry. One aspect of upgrading the industry is simply to increase the number of healthy animals and thus will have to dispose the generated bovine wastes in a proper manner. Dairy waste is produced on a daily basis, whereas our domestic biogas production technology is successful enough to produce gas which can be used as a heating fuel for a number of applications. Our study evaluates the potential of different types of biogas production reactors. Fixed dome biogas plant is more common in Pakistan, with a payback period of only a few months. In addition, the slurry produced by the biogas reactor is a highly valuable agricultural biofertilizer. Less amount of water is needed for keeping cattle farms clean because most part of the faeces are picked and then utilized for gas production.
