      abstract = {The rice production of Dominican Republic is around half  million of TM per year, from which 50% is crops residues  (hull and straw). This high production of fiber is used as  feed, poultry bedding and organic fertilizer. Taking in  account this amount of fiber as a very good of source to  produce biogas, ISA University setup two trial of 60 day to  evaluate the biogas yields using two substrate of rice  crops residues (hulls and straw).The trials consisted of  rice hulls and straws treated with urea and rabbit urine or  fresh bovine manor under environmental conditions. The  Trials had a randomized design, however, the rice hull  trials had two treatments and three repetitions and the  straws trial had four treatments with three repetition. The  evaluated variable was the biogas production (dm3) per kg  of DM in 10 d periods. The rice hulls treated with rabbit  urine yields about 57.38 dm3 /kg de DM in 60 d and the rice  straws treated with rabbit urine and bovine manor yields  98.28 dm3 /kg DM. From theses trials we conclude that it is  possible produces a good yields per kg of DM of biogas from  rice crops residues with artisanal biodigester},
