- Abstract
Cow manure is an excreta of livestock animal waste, is a cheap and easily available bioresource on our planet. Cow manure or commonly termed as cow dung, has given a decent amount of attention in the recent times due to the various applications that may be utilised for the society. Traditionally, cow manure has been used as a fertilizer, soil amendment, energy source, and even as a construction material. Livestock manure contains many useful and important, recyclable materials, including nutrients, organic matter, solid wastes, energy, and fibre. The main objective of the study is to increase the potential and beneficial uses of livestock wastes of cow manure as a cheaper and eco-friendly BBQ briquettes (Briqmure) as an alternative household fuel energy. Briqmure were produced from cow manure that was considered as a livestock and agricultural wastes. The method and process of Briqmure manufacturing were done according to the standard and improvised procedures. Cow manure was collected, mixed with water and finally treated with heat. The cow manure mixture was put into the briquette molds to dry. The results show that Briqmure made from cow manure has good combustion capacity. The cost analysis carried out shows the economic viability of using the Briqmure as an outstanding, low cost and eco-friendly substitute of the current practices using conventional cooking fuels available. Therefore, the utilisation of cow manure for Briqmure production will reduce environmental degradation and pollution by minimising cow manure waste in the livestock and agricultural industry.
