During climb out; our FA's (Flight Attendants) informed us that a manure-like odor was emanating from the aft portion of the cabin. We were navigating through light rain and avoid larger areas of precipitation depicted on the radar. Once at a safe altitude; we conferred with the FA's about the location of the odor; it's intensity; and if they were feeling okay. Pack 2 was shut off based on the report from the cabin and IAW [In Accordance With] with the FOM and QRH. The odor then quickly dissipated. We then contacted Dispatch and Maintenance  via Satcom about the odor issue. We then double checked with the flight attendants that the odor dissipated and checked on their condition as well as the passengers condition. All felt fine and were well. We informed Maintenance and Dispatch that the odor had dissipated and that we were going to continue the flight. Both Maintenance and Dispatch concurred. I informed Maintenance that the odor issue would be written up in the aircraft logbook. The odor was not present in the flight deck or the forward part of the cabin.
A321 Pilot reported Flight Attendant informed flight crew of 'manure-like' odor in passenger cabin during climb. Flight crew secured Pack 2 which caused the odor to dissipate. After conferring with Dispatch and Maintenance the flight continued to destination.
