Anaerobic digestion of renewable feedstocks has been known as a prospective technology for the pro-
duction of clean energy in the form of biogas. Biogas is a sustainable energy carrier which is mainly
composed of methane (60%) and carbon dioxide (35
–
40%). Among the raw substances, organic matters
obtained from farm animal waste are pivotal sources for biogas production. In recent years, the number
of animal husbandry has drastically grown in Malaysia. Accordingly, a large amount of animal waste
including manure, blood and rumen content are produced which provide a tremendous source of biogas
generation. This paper presents biogas potential from the organic waste obtained from the farm animals
and slaughterhouses in Malaysia. The
fi
ndings of this study indicated that biogas potential of 4589.49
