This study aims at investigating the bio gas production kinetics of combined Municipal Solid waste( MSW) co digested with cow dung and sewage sludge on the anaerobic batch reactors. The results indicate that the cow dung slurry and sewage sludge is the best inoculums source of methane generation due to its biodegradation capacity. The cumulative biogas readings for reactors R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 was obtained as 337.365ml/gVS, 481.95ml/gVS, 567ml/gVS, 214.775ml/gVS, 321.198ml/gVS, and 383.52ml/gVS, respectively. In addition, biogas production accumulation was simulated using transference function, modified Gompertz equation and logistic function plots. Kinetic constants relate cumulative biogas production and the time of digestion through biogas yield potential (P), the maximum biogas production rate (Rm) and the duration of lag phase (λ) R2, RMSE values obtained from different inoculums are completely presented. Modified Gompertz plot had higher correlation than other plot for simulating cumulative biogas production for both co substrates
