AB  - The effects of media material on biogas yield was investigated using poultry (layers) drop (PD) in a laboratory and anaerobic digester. Cassava peels (CP) and obeche wood (Triplochiton Scleroxylon) were used as media material. The quantities of media material used in this investigation were 0% CP 25% CP without obeche wood, 50% CP seeded with obeche wood, 100% CP (macerated) and 100% CP (unmacerated). The waste water ratio (slurry) used in this study was 1:3. The volume of biogas produced ranged from 90-2590 cm<SUP>3</SUP> with  different  concentration  of  cassava  peels  and  obeche  wood in poultry drops. Fifty percent (50% w/w) of the Cassava  peels   seeded   with   obeche   wood   in   poultry   dropping  yielded  the highest volume of biogas (2590 cm<SUP>3</SUP>). The wood medium used (obeche) exhibited good medium characteristics in accelerating biogas yield.
