Abstract

This research work was carried out to evaluate the bio-gas production potential of four different substrates
viz. ruminant dung (cattle and goat) and non-ruminant excreta (pig and poultry). The bio-gas production
potential of non-ruminants excreta was found to be significantly higher than ruminant excreta due to less
fibre content, presence of undigested fermentable carbohydrates (volatile solids) and reduced nitrogen
content. The bio-gas production potential of pig excreta was found to be significantly (P<0.01) higher than
goat followed by poultry and cattle.
