Backrub – Self Feeding The AC Backrub – Self Feeding 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. The AC Backrub is a  high-quality backrub 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.   Backrubs are available in 1, 2 & 3-metre self-feeding and plain designs. The Backrub uses a kink-resistant reinforced poly tubing to connect to a drum containing the oil/chemical mixture or organic solution. With the use of a tap on the drum, you can maintain continuous saturation without you needing to attend to it. There are two main fly control solution options:

2. Organic solution
