INTRODUCTION
Biogas is a renewable, alternative and sustainable form of energy.
Biogas as an energy source can be converted to benefit domestically and to power our industries .
This topic is carried out with the purpose of discovering which breed of cows is most effective for biogas generation, particularly in the West-African sub-region.
BIOGAS
• Biogas is clean environment friendly fuel that can be obtained by anaerobic digestion of animal residues and domestic and farm wastes.
• Biogas generally comprise of 55-65 % methane, 35-45 % carbon dioxide, 0.5-1.0 % hydrogen sulfide and traces of water vapor.
• Average calorific value of biogas is 20 MJ/m3 (4713 kcal/m3).

WHAT IS ANAEROBIC DIGESTION?
Anaerobic digestion occurs when organic material decomposes biologically in the absence of oxygen
6
Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion
Odour reduction.
Digested manure retains most of its nutrient/fertilizer value.
Digestion minimizes release of methane to atmosphere during later storage.

CONSTITUNTS
1- CH4 - 55-65%
2- Co2 - 35-45%
3- N2 - 0.8%
4- H2 - 0.7%
5- CO - 0.2%6- O2 - 0.1%
7- H2S - 0.2%
ENERGY POTENTIAL OF NIGERIA (BIO-FUEL) :-
The reserves for animal waste is as at 2005 was estimated to be 61.00 million tonnes/ yr.
Crop residue was put at 83.00 million tonnes/yr. 50 and 400 MW of electricity is targeted to be generated
from biomass by 2015 and 2025 respectively. Nigeria is tremendously blessed with a variety of energy
resources (both conventional and non-conventional).
BIOGAS GENERATATION DEPENDS ON
The nature and concentration of the substrate,
Feed rate,
pH value,
Bacterial population,
Temperature, and
Chemical inducers.
Materials and methods :- Samples of cow dung (2 kg) were obtained from the Jersey cows,
Holstein Friesian cows, White Fulani cow and Simmental cows
respectively.
The cows were all fed in equal proportion and at the same time
before the samples were collected, with di-calcium, Soya meal,
wheat offal, cotton seed, and cotton husk.
The 263-50 Gas Chromatograph, D2500 Chromato-Integrator and
Gas Sampler were used for the collection and analysis of the biogas
samples collected from the bio-reactor.
Cow were not treated with antibiotics within the weeks prior to
samples gathering.
The gas sample was introduced into the 263-50 Gas-Chromatograph which was connected to a D2500 Chromato-Integrator and charged for a period of 13 min.
The results were plotted on graph by the D2500 Chromato-
Integrator and summary given within 13 min by the Integrator.
The results indicate the presence of Air (Oxygen and Nitrogen), CH4, CO, N, CO2 and traces of other gases.

Table 2. Calorific values of biogas obtained from Jersey, Simmental, Holstein and the white Fulani cows.
Conclusions :- The White Fulani, a predominant variety in Nigeria and the West-
African sub-region content the highest percentage of biogas. The methods and materials used prove that the white Fulani has the
highest percentage of bio-energy as compare to other breeds
studied. Socio-economical can be solved by the abundance of this local
breed of cows. The government and private sector need to mobilize energy
resources in cow dung, particularly the White Fulani and other
wastes to ensure energy is provided to Nigerians.
