N2  - This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using mixed  substrate to enhance biogas generation from Upflow Anaerobic  Sludge Blanket CUASB> process . Three 8 . 5 L-UASB reactors were fed  with different mixture ratios of chicken manure and brewery  wastewater.  Initially the process started up at an organic loading  rate of 0.62 kg COO/m3 .d. and at a hydraulic retention time of 48  hr at 35° c. Organic loading rate was increased up to 6.3 kg  CO O/m3 .d 8 weeks after t he star t - up with improve d performance . COO removal efficiency reached up to 90 %.  Daily gas production started slowly and picked up rapidly at  the later stage . At final stage, approximately 9 L of total gas  could be produced daily a nd the average gas production rate was  180 L/kg COO added. It was found that the best results were  obtained with the digester fed with the mixture of 25 % poultry  manure a nd 75 % brewery wastewater at the organic loading rate of  3.1 1 kg COO/m3 .d a nd 24- hr hydraulic retention time. The gas  yield was 247 L/kg COO add ed. The methane content of the biogas  from t he waste varied from 66 to 73 %. Efficiency of methane  generation was 40 % of the maximum potential
