Question

In the human and agricultural context, why is cattle dung particularly suited for biogas production?

विकल्प

• It is entirely composed of inert nitrogen and water vapour

• It is rich in methanogens originating from the rumen of cattle, where they digest cellulose

• It contains high concentrations of pure oxygen necessary for aerobic breakdown

• It inhibits the growth of Archaea and promotes true bacteria

Answer 1

Methanogens naturally inhabit the rumen of cattle where they aid in cellulose digestion. Because of this, cattle dung is rich in these anaerobic bacteria and is widely used to generate biogas (gobar gas).
