Sumario:Colombia is a country famously known for its biodiversity and high potential in agricultural production, Cordoba is a department labeled in Colombia for its high production of products that come from the field, the main economic activity in this place is livestock, then followed by agriculture. These activities leave organic residues such as manure and bovine rumen content, which can have a high energy potential. This research examined the behavior of anaerobic digestion and co-digestion, considering bovine manure (E) and rumen content (CR) as residual biomass. Samples with a ratio of 30% rumen content and 70% bovine manure (E70-CR30) and another complete with bovine manure (E100) were also evaluated. During the experimental evaluation, 2 samples were analyzed for E70-CR30 and another for E100 to analyze the parameters of pressure, pH and temperature, in addition to evaluating the behavior of biogas every week. As a last step, the biogas was characterized by means of a chromatography test to evaluate the calorific value (LHV) and to know the biogas yield. The results of the experiment showed that the E70-CR30 combination has a 64% higher CH4 production compared to the E100 mixture.
