| | disposal | Explanation:
disposal
Does this mean that the value of the manure is fixed at the cost of disposal - i.e. it may be given or sold to anyone who will pay the cost of removing it?
I have not found this in any dictionary, but by googling and looking at the contexts, it seems to mean passing on or ´disposing of´ by-products or surplus, possibly substandard produce, and minimising costs or losses.
I'm guessing here - more context might help if you have any!

In that case I would probably say something like fixing the value of the manure at the cost of spreading it. (This would balance the accounts - it does not provide a directly measurable income, but spreading it is an expense, and it is supposed to be an asset of some kind!)
Here I am assuming that it is a ´by-product´ of the animals reared on the farm.

Deploying it?
It was bedtime this side of the pond when I added my last note... Having slept on it, I wonder if you could say ´deployment´?
Putting something to good use?
Oxford Advanced Learner's says:
2. (formal) to use sth. effectively: to deploy arguments/resources > deployment, noun
This strikes me as quite close to some of the meanings of ´afdisponere´ that I have seen.

Asker: They are talking about the costs of using manure vs. fertilizer on the fields as the prices of fertilizer have gone up. So what I understand that in stead of getting rid of the manure they save money using IT as fertilizer...
Asker: lol ´by-product´..yea!
Yes, it is an expense, but still cheaper than buying fertilizer.
There is another word, which is " Gylle disponering" and in the list of terms is translated "Slurry-manure handling". That confuses me, afdisponering is opposite of disponering? What is opposite of handling?
Thx for your time ;)
Asker: Yes, I like deployment...it fits the context very well!!
If you could add it as answer, I can close the Kudoz ;)
