Co – digestion of elephant grass, poultry and pig droppings anaerobically for laboratory scale production of biogas was under taken. The pH and temperature ranges for this study were 5.5 – 7.1 and 25oC – 30oC respectively within the hydraulic retention time of 52 days. 9.10% total solid concentration was used in each of the digesters. The water displacement method was used to estimate the biogas produced. The percentage weight ratio distribution of poultry droppings to pig droppings were; (100:0), (75:25), (50:50), (25:75), and (0:100) for digesters A, B, C, D and E respectively. Digester B gave the maximum biogas yields of 301 cm3CH4/ g – VSadded at the end of 52 days of fermentation after which there was no further production. It is suggested that the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, alkanes, SP3 and methyl functional group in all these substrates used as shown by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy carried out make these materials be good for biogas production. The GC analysis on the biogas produced in digester B had maximum production showed 69.43 %v/v and 23.22 %v/v for methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) respectively. The experimental data fitted well with the linear kinetic model which indicated that there was an increase in the yield of biogas as the retention time increases. The net performance of the digesters were, digester B > digester C > digester A > digester D > digester E. X – RF analysis carried out on the substrates showed that poultry dropping has more Fe2O3, CaO, P2O5, K2O, and Mn2O3 essential elements required for enzymes and microbial metabolisms in anaerobic digestion. This makes poultry droppings a very viable substrate for biogas production compared to the other two substrates. The overall power generations were 6.54, 9.57, 7.8, 5.4, and 1.89 watt in digesters A, B, C, D, and E respectively.
