QUAIL DROPPING.

USES OF QUAIL DROPPING. Biogas is production of methane, carbon dioxide and water from biodegradable substrate such as animal dropping and agricultural waste. Microorganisms decompose organic matter into methane, carbon dioxide and water by anaerobic fermentation. Quail dropping, chicken dropping, animal waste can be used as substrate for biogas. Quail droppings have advantages over animal substrate because high quantities of methane as much as 10 x that derived from chicken dropping, and it takes a short time for the gas to be produced in the biogas digester. The energy derived is used to power household appliances, and it’s an alternate source of energy. Raw quail droppings are rich in proteins because of the surplus sperm that are discharged by the male quail; this increases the nitrogen content of the dropping, thus making it of value as fertilizer especially for vegetables. The droppings are processed in the compost pit to make them useful as fertilizer. FIG0-pI/AAAAAAAAAw0/QN2wqZaG1iY/s320/Photo1110.jpg" />
