Availability of Road/Rail Transport 

Abattoir is just similar to a processing plant for which raw materials are animals and the carcass/meat is the processed product.Similar to any industries/processing plant/enterprise it is necessary that raw materials should reach to processing site and ready product should be cleared from there timely. It requires the connectivity of site through road/rail line so that raw and processed product could be transported easily. Your native place may be devoid of any broiler farm or layer farm even though the chicken and egg shops are common. This is what transportation is doing now-a-days. Transport to and from the abattoir by road/rail should be available throughout the year for efficient function. 

Proximity with Production/Market Area 

Of course now-a-days distance has been overcome by better transportation facility even though you must be thinking about concentration of industries in a particular area. In fact while setting an establishment, it is of utmost importance to consider about the production area of raw material as well as market for processed product. Nobody would like to spend much in transportation because besides cost it also affects the quality of product. So abattoir should be situated in such a place where it could get regular supply of animals for slaughter i.e., good availability of stock nearby, have good market for meat or have better connectivity with road/rail for quick and safe despatch. 

Availability of Labor 

The abattoir practices involve extensive labor work. Technical and skilled manpower should be available in nearby area. The abundance of it prevents any type of monopoly which helps engage labors at reasonable wages.
