Italian term or phrase: macello comprensoriale
Nell’area pilota esiste un Macello Comprensoriale realizzato, agli inizi degli anni 70, dall’Amministrazione Comunale di Pontebba, allo scopo di servire e supportare il locale punto di sosta e sdoganamento del bestiame.

Ho pensato a *district slaughterhouse*, ma non sono del tutto convinta. Grazie!

Thanks Claire, abattoir sounds much nicer than slaughterhouse ;-)

Many thanks to Vanessa and rfmoon also :-)

I chose "district" to translate "comprensoriale", as the word local appears further along in the same sentence

slaughterhouse check-point


Explanation:
we have lots of truck check-points and weigh stations around here. This seems to be a centralized slaughterhouse check-point
