El pelado o recorte perianal consiste en cortar la lana húmeda que rodea la cola y el ano de la oveja. La lana húmeda y sucia atrae a las moscas, en especial el moscón azul (de color verde brillante o azul). Las moscas depositan los huevos en la lana y en uno o dos días de incubación nacen las larvas que barrenan la piel y se alimentan de la carne de la oveja. 1, record 1, Spanish, - pelado%20perianal
