Abstract Efficient treatment of swine wastewater at a high rate would facilitate the development of a sustainable pig industry. In this study, to investigate methane fermentation and membrane filtration performance, an anaerobic membrane bioreactor was operated under mesophilic conditions for 207 days during four stages, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) decreasing from 5 to 3, 2, and 1 day, and a changing of solid retention time/hydraulic retention time (SRT/HRT) ratio from 18,18 to 8 and 3.2. The results showed that a higher volumetric methane production of 1.63 L/(L·d) and a lower VFAs concentration (
