The main objective of this study is to evaluate the biogas output from the anaerobic digestion of two different types of food waste: poultry waste and kitchen waste. REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES: The biodigester’s waste samples, which included both poultry and food scraps, were collected on the fourteenth day. Both sets of participants had their biogas levels measured with high-tech biogas metres. With a significance level of 0.05, a confidence interval of 95%, and a G power of 80%, the total sample size was determined to be 28. There were two groups, each with a sample size of 14. RESULTS: The biodigester was monitored for fourteen days to gather waste samples, which included both chicken and kitchen waste (N=14). When compared to kitchen garbage, the biodigester yielded much more biogas from poultry waste (12.56 m3) (20.19 m3). When compared to kitchen garbage, the results showed that poultry waste created far less biogas. There is no statistically significant difference between the two groups, according to the independent sample t-test, which yielded a p value of 0.098. CONCLUSION: These results show that the biodigester powered by chicken waste can generate more biogas than the biodigester powered by kitchen trash.
