yo recomendaria añadir (la mutilación de los corderos para evitar a los parásitos) despues de "mulesing"

Gracias por la información.

No hice muchas explicaciones ni referencias, porque pienso que la sugerencia del traductor es correcta.
La técnica del mulesing, no se refiere al acto de extracción; sino al acto cruel de mutilación a las ovejas. No tiene equivalencia al español, porque su nombre viene del apellido de su creador: Jhon W. H. Mules.

merino wool museling_FREE https://merinowoolgear.com/what-is-mulesing/ A Brief Origin of Mulesing & Flystrike
In the later 19th-century, several Merino rams from Vermont were imported into Australia to increase clean wool yield. These studs rapidly spread throughout Australia as woolgrowers hoped to maximize their profits.

At first, the new breeding tactic seemed to work as the crossbred lambs yield weight was high, but it was primarily due to grease weight, not clean weight. On top of that, the wool quality was inconsistent, and the new Merino ewes had much lower lambing percentages. That still wasn’t the worst part; the higher greasy wool content led to a higher rate of parasitic infections like myiasis, also known as flystrike.

In other terms, flies lay larvae in the sheep’s wrinkly skin folds around the breech. The organic excrement – also called dag – provides food for the larvae, and they begin to eat away at the sheep’s flesh. More flies eventually lay more eggs on already-infected sheep. Thus, the slow and painful process continues.
