Which fly-control method involves applying the product directly to the cattle's back or along the spine in a liquid form?

• A. Pour On
• B. Back Rubbers
• C. Ear Tags
• D. Dust Bags

Answer: (A)

Pour-on fly-control is a liquid product applied directly to the cattle’s back, along the spine. The liquid coats the skin and is absorbed, giving protection against flies for a period of time. This method is designed for easy, on-animal treatment, especially when treating many animals at once. Back rubbers rely on the animal rubbing against a treated surface to transfer the product, often as a paste or residue. Ear tags release insecticide from a tag worn in the ear rather than a liquid on the back, and dust bags use powdered insecticide applied by dusting the animal. So applying the liquid along the back matches the description.
