watching a program about how cow farts are affecting global warming due to methane gas! I actually asked my chemistry teacher why our farts are flammable (tryed and tested due to south park!) she said methane....

QI answered, it's hydrogen!
Depends on what you've been eating, your stomach bacteria whether you've been ingesting air etc.
Nitrogen 20 to 90%
Hydrogen 0 to 50% (flammable).
Carbon Dioxide 10 to 30%
Oxygen 0 to 10%
Methane 0 to 10 % (flammable).
With cows it's 20 to 30 gallons of methane per day per cow, though 90% is from the mouth.
This is a problem in Global warming.
