Backrub - Plain BACKRUB-PLAIN AC Backrubs

Description

Backrub – Plain

The Plain AC Backrub – Plain is a tool to apply a fly control solution to livestock. The AC Backrubs need to be pre-soaked with a fly control solution of your choice prior to use. They are not effective on their own.

AC Backrubs are high-quality backrubs suitable for cattle and horses.  They are manufactured from jute, continuous nylon braided netting and HD 6mm galvanised chain.  Stock will treat themselves on demand resulting in effective control of buffalo fly and saving labour costs.

The backrub plain requires pouring the fly control solution by hand onto the backrub after the initial soaking. The backrub must be submerged for a few hours to completely saturate the backrub in the fly control solution. Then hang the backrub vertically over the container to drain the excess off. Then hang the backrub in position.

There are two main fly control solution options:

  1. Chemical fly control plus backrub oil carrier solution
  2. Organic solution

The backrub plain allows the fly control solution to be applied to the cattle as they rub themselves against the backrub. It maximises effectiveness it is critical to set the back rub up correctly.

The backrub will then allow cattle to treat themselves as they require. This is particularly important as some cattle appear to be more prone to fly infestations than others. By the cattle treating themselves on an “as needs basis” this will ensure fly populations are kept under control.

Tips For Use

Mounting Self Feeding Backrubs:

  • It is important to consider the position of your backrub in the paddock. It is recommended to hang it between two trees in a cattle camp or near a watering point. People often want to hang a backrub between a gateway, however, ideally you want the cattle to seek out the backrub not be forced to use it. By placing the backrub in a camp or near water, the cattle will find the backrub and gradually one by one begin to use it. Once the cattle work out that by using the backrub that they get relief from flies they will continue to use it as each individual animal requires.
  • Weaners and bullocks quickly learn to use the rubber, but breeders may be hesitant. It may take some time. A lick block or feed is one way to get them going to the rubber, and they soon learn what they are all about. Rubs should be put near water holes or shady camps where the livestock have full access to them.
