sosta del bestiame

Livestock / Animal Husbandry
abbatoirs / slaughterhouses
I really hate that I have to ask this question. This was buried in a larger project from a company that designs wastewater treatment plants, and they apparently also cater to the slaughtering industry. Context:
"Tutti questi criteri, presi contestualmente, concorrono a variare il carico inquinante degli scarichi generati da un macello..... durata della sosta del bestiame."
Thanks in advance for any help. I want to put this one to rest as soon as possible. If I'd seen it before, I wouldn't even have taken the job.

You could omit "livestock", as it goes without saying.

You've misunderstood my answer. I meant "throughput time/transit time".
The complex disassembly of the carcass into muscle groups, meat ... determine the throughput time and amount of work to be done at each station

Note from asker:
| Thanks Phil. Transit time might make sense here, but as far as I can tell, throughput refers to the volume of livestock passing through the abattoir: e.g. https://www.beefcentral.com/news/throughput-is-biggest-driver-of-beef-processor-profitability-economic-model-shows/ |

livestock rest period
Horrible as I am vegetarian, but this refers to the period preceding the slaughter.
Be sure to check out the study I posted on the online references.
Hope it helps!

| Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Thanks so much. And yes, it's horrible. I don't eat meat either, and it was quite distressing to find this in my "innocent" wastewater treatment project ;) |

: I don't think your 5 is justified. I believe this means the time they spend there - otherwise it would presumably be "riposo".

length / duration of the stay of the livestock
If, as you suggest, this is an item of a list (the dots hint that) this is how I get it.
Besides, durata is different from durante.

Actually: items of a list of factors generating pollution.
And, of course, I'm translating the whole expression "durata della sosta del bestiame", which would require a change of "sosta del bestiame". But I doubt it's possible.

: This is correct, but I think the two "of"s make it a bit awkward, and "stay" sounds like a hotel from which they emerge relaxed and refreshed.

Not every-body is entitled a hotel stay... ;-)

Discussion
La progettazione di un impianto di depurazione per reflui da macellazione è fondata di fatto sulla conoscenza dettagliata dei seguenti dati:
- tipologia e quantità di esemplari macellati
- volume di acqua consumata per capo macellato
- tipo di lavorazioni eseguite nei reparti (trasformazione, tripperia, ecc.)
- recupero e scarico del sangue
- durata della sosta del bestiame
So I would interpret it simply as how long the livestock are there for.

I would definitely refrain from translating as "stay".
All the literature I found on the subject refers to a "rest period"
Again, hope it helps
