COMPARATIVE EVALUATION ON THE POTENTIALS OF SHEEP RUMEN CONTENTS FOR BIOGAS GENERATION

Biogas refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in absence oxygen. It is as clean biofuel microorganism during anaerobic digestion matter. The study was carried out determine potentials sheep rumen contents for biogas production through digestion. Proximate analysis on substrate. results shows that nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus have 0.58 ± 0.02 (mg/ml), 425 5.00 2.57 0.03 (mg/ml) respectively. After proximate analysis, four (4) local digesters with capacity 500g tins were designed used collection via passage pipe systems. digest slurry (mixture Sheep content water) which mixed ratio 2:1 period eight weeks (56 days) retention time until reduced significantly. pH values slurries adjusted neutral. stirred thrice daily avoid scum formation allow easy escape produced. total average yield 820 cm3, 1070 780 660 cm3 D1, D2, D3, D4 Isolation Microorganisms caried where B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus found. from wastes an eco-friendly, helps solve most countries energy crisis.
