Manure can catch fire primarily due to its high organic content and moisture levels. When manure is stored in large piles, anaerobic bacteria break down the organic material, generating heat through microbial activity. If this heat builds up and the moisture content decreases, it can lead to spontaneous combustion. Additionally, if manure is mixed with dry materials or exposed to a heat source, the risk of ignition increases.
