Anaerobic digestion is an essential method for resource utilization of livestock manure.However,the high content of refractory lignocellulose in cattle manure leads to the low efficiency of AD,which limits the application of this technology in cattle manure treatment.This study aimed to optimize the AD performance of cattle manure and broaden the substrate source for AD.A batch experiment conducted under mesophilic(37℃)conditions with different mixing ratios of cabbage waste and cattle manure(100∶0,75∶25,50∶50,25∶75,and 0∶100).The results showed that the AD performance of cattle manure improved by co-digestion with cabbage waste.A 75∶25 mixing ratio of cabbage waste to cow dung yielded methane up to 419 mL·g-1.Moreover,the Gompertz model's fitting results showed that the cumulative methane production,sufficient methane production time,and methane production rate under optimal mixing ratio were significantly superior to the other groups employed.The results showed that the anaerobic co-digestion of cabbage waste and cattle manure could achieve better biogas production.
