Summary:Livestock waste as one side product of farming industry can utilize to produces energy source (biogas). To optimize this process, the synergy between livestock waste and other fields is needed. This study aimed to improve the synergy between livestock waste and other fields such as animal husbandry, agriculture, plantations, and forestry; and also improve the capability of livestock waste in diversifying animal husbandry products. The research results showed that livestock waste that was processed by using a biogas unit was able to produce various derivative products, such as: 1). 0.18- 0.34 m3 of biogas per m3 digester tank; and 2). sludge that had almost the same amount as the livestock waste solution (slurry). The solid biogas unit sludge (SBGUS) could be used: a. as animal fodder, 10-30 %; b. as worm media, up to 50-60 %; c. to accelerate compost forming by up to 50-60 % for three weeks; and d. as liquid biogas unit sludge (LBGUS) for terrestrial plants (2-3 liters/m2). In conclusion, livestock waste that was processed by using a biogas unit was able to create a synergy with commodities of animals, agriculture, fisheries, plantations, and forestry. Furthermore, livestock waste from farming industry could produce various derivative products.
