The aim of the study was to examine biogas and methane yield maize silage, a wastes in agricultural point view compare it productivity commonly used mixture silage mixed fodder with water. experimental carried out into 2 parts. Firstly, batch experiment conducted Mesophilic conditions (35°C), at five different hydraulic retention times (HRT): 6 DAT, 11 DAT 20 29 41 DAT. results revealed that generated highest 537 mL /241 HRT 6days /41 days. Mixed produced 421 6th days lowest one 252 20th Finally, methane, carbon dioxide hydrogen sulphide from were analyzed using gas chromatography. shown precedes less than fodder. In field level proved which would be enough for 7 member’s family 3 months purpose their cooking.
