Skrott is just that - a generic Norwegian word for a dead, reasonably whole animal. Slaktekropp is a butcher's term.

halvt slakt; frampart/bakpart


Explanation:
This is often referred to as a slakt (e.g. et helt/halvt slakt).

If you know which part of the animal it is, you can also refer to it as a frampart or bakpart, respectively.
