I think there is no significance in the killing of the fatted calf there was a custom in those days that there was always a calf fattening ready for festive occasions.
Possibly there is some allusion to calves as a sin/peace offering and the death of Jesus

Why was fattening a calf important in the New Testament?
It was not important from the Biblical view point, but, practically speaking, if you were to invite people to a BBQ, a fatted calf is the way to go (Luke 15:23,27,30). Because the calf meat (veal) is soft, and the fat coats the meat as it is melting over the fire, thus preserving the juices by preventing the meat from drying out, so you would try to find the fattest calf in your herd if you want to please your guests.
