Dual Chains

Overcome
biting insects

Fly control systems used in conjunction with a supplement program are a cost effective way of overcoming problems caused by biting insects. Biting insects such as buffalo flies, mosquitoes, sand flies and ticks have cost the cattle industry millions of dollars in lost revenue.

In consultation with producers within the livestock industry, Dual Chains has been designed to minimise oil and chemical wastage, unlike traditional backrubs. Dual Chains enables producers to control parasites over a longer period of time, reducing time spent on treatment, halving labour requirements, and ultimately saving money.  Dual chains is manufactured for Top Country by Smarter Rural. 

Dual Chains is a back rub device designed to improve the coverage of repellent or chemicals which protects livestock from external parasites. This reduces the labour and fly control costs for the producer and allows a continual treatment to animals. Dual Chains are easily attached to the roof of the Top Feedas, Top Tonnas or you can hang from a chain or structure (such as between two trees) about 2 – 2.5 meters from the ground enabling cattle to be coated with a deodorant or repellent while they are consuming supplement.

The Dual Chains are built to be strong and long lasting. With an easy to use design and distributer capable of holding 1 litre. The distributers are linked to the hanging backrubs, supplying up to four weeks of insect control for the stock.

Replacement oil can be purchased individually and are available in two versions. An oil only option designed to be a carrier oil to be used in conjunction with a registered backrub chemical. It is not effective on its own. We also offer oil mixed with a unique fly control product that is an environmentally friendly and cost effective animal deodorant. It contains essential Australian native oils that have aromatic deodorant effects.
