Abstract:		"Cattle manure is rich in organic matter and nutrients, but it may also contain harmful substances such as residual antibiotics and other toxic compounds. Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a widely used veterinary antibiotic and its presence in manure can affect the subsequent anaerobic digestion process. This study evaluated the effect of OTC concentrations viz. 0.12, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 3, 6 and 12 mg L(-1) on batch mesophilic anaerobic digestion of cattle manure. The results showed that cumulative biogas yield decreased by 25, 29 and 55% at 3, 6 and 12 mg OTC L(-1) in contrast to control. Volatile solids removal was 39% for control which reduced to 13% in 12 mg L(-1) OTC spiked reactor. Effect on stability parameters was significant at OTC concentrations from 1.2 to 12 mg L(-1). Two different kinetic models were used for biogas data validation and the modified Gompertz model best fitted to the experimental data"
