slaughtered cattle

English to Spanish Medical Livestock / Animal Husbandry
What will be the best way to translate this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish?

It's the translation of a veterinary document.

Here is the full phrase:

The bovine tuberculosis eradication program began in 1917, when approximately one out of every 20 slaughtered cattle had this disease. Humans also suffered from M. bovis infection often from drinking unpasteurized milk and/or working around affected cattle

Difference Take into account that use of "sacrificado" / "faenado" depends on the specific country, it varies in Latin America.

Sí, "sacrificados" es un poco un eufemismo. Ya los mataderos o rastros más bien se llaman plantas de sacrificio o de procesamiento para quitarles la parte negativa implícita en matadero.
agree Luis Rey Ballesteros (Luiroi) : En el orden que mencionas. Para México la primera opción, sin duda. Saludos

ganado faenado

En español del rioplatense en los frigroríficos se "faenan" animales. esta claro que tanto frigorifico (slaughter house) como faena en español de España tienen significados completamente distintos.
