Abstract: Livestock wastes such as fesses, urine, feed residues can produce biogas. In the villages of Bontomanai and Kalimporo, Bangkala sub-district is the two villages with the largest livestock population in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi. The problem is 89% of Bontomanai and Kalimporo villagers have not been able to utilize livestock waste into biogas power source. This research aims to analyze livestock waste as a source of biogas power plant in Jeneponto Regency. The population of livestock are cows, buffaloes, goats, horses. Using descriptive method, data collection techniques were conducted by looking at the spaciousness, through direct interviews with villagers Bontomanai and Kalimporo. The results showed the average production of dung cow 294 kg/day, horse 464 kg/day, buffalo 210 kg/day and goats 88 kg/day. Through, the anaerobic fermentation process, biogas production of 238.16 m3/day, livestock waste can be a source of electricity 46,6397 kWh every day.
