Abstract

Changes in weather affected the dry matter content of buffalo dung and the production of biogas. The plant produced maximum biogas 1.78 M3/Day at the loading rate of 2.4 Kg. total solids (TS)/M3 digester/day at 34.8 C atmospheric temperature. Anaerobically fermented dung, i.e. effluent from biogas plant showed decrease in the fibre content from 26.24 % to 22.34 %. Application of effluent as fertilizer at the rate of 1800 litre/hactare/day resulted in 10.9 % increase in the yield of berseem/cut.
