AB  - Increase of world population and continuation of industrialization 
  increase energy requirement. Meeting these requirements with fossil based fuels 
  increase greenhouse gas emissions, cause environment-air pollution and global 
  warming. Environment-friendly biogas output and utilization which decrease production 
  input gains importance in meeting energy requirement in agricultural enterprises. 
  Dairy cattle manure and maize silage are the common substrates for anaerobic 
  digestion in agricultural enterprises. In this study, biogas production in anaerobic 
  digestion is studied under mesophilic conditions for 60 days. Laboratory scale 
  experiments were performed on the digestion of dairy cattle manure and maize 
  silage at different mixing rate. The results showed that co-digestion of dairy 
  cattle manure and maize silage have positive effects on biogas production and 
  methane content of biogas. The highest biogas production was measured at the 
  DM 6% content and the manure:silage rate 3:1. Also, the highest methane content 
  was measured at the highest silage rate.
