“…Many studies have reported the use of plant essential oils for grain fumigation to control insect pests [22]. Especially the use of allicin (primary sulfur compound present in garlic) has been reported as a potential alternative fumigant to control insect [23] and its application effectively disinfected eggs compared to formaldehyde fumigation [24].…”

Environmental disinfection greatly reduces the occurrence of nosocomial or healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) which are the major healthcare problems worldwide. In India, Ayurvedic traditional fumigation with natural plant products is used to disinfect environment. In the present study, environmental disinfection efficiency of traditional fumigation practice has been evaluated by using natural plant products such as garlic (Allium sativum) peel, turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder, Carom (Trachyspermum ammi) seeds (Ajwain) and Loban (resin of Styrax benzoin and Boswellia species). The efficiency of traditional fumigation using these natural products to disinfect air and surface was evaluated. The effect of traditional fumigation on the microbiological quality of air was revealed by active air sampling. In addition, the ability of the traditional fumigation using garlic peel to disinfect inanimate surface was evaluated using three strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Glass slide was artificially contaminated with the bacteria and fumigated whereas non-fumigated slide served as control. The control and fumigated slides were analyzed for surviving bacteria and subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Traditional fumigation performed separately with three grams of garlic peel, turmeric, carom seeds and loban powder reduced the average air borne bacterial colony forming units (cfu)/m3 compared to non-fumigated control. The SEM analysis showed reduced number of bacteria in garlic peel fumigated surface samples. The results of the study strongly suggested that the traditional Ayurvedic fumigation with natural plant products is effective in reducing air-borne bacteria and in disinfecting inanimate surfaces. The traditional fumigation with herbal products has huge potential to address the problem of nosocomial infections.

“…In fact, Ankri & Miralman (1999) reported that the active ingredient of garlic, allicin, is effective against many Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, and also has antifungal and antiviral activities. Similarly, Copur et al (2011) reported that the use of allicin for the disinfection of hatching broiler eggs reduced the microbial load on the eggshell surface, consequently reducing early and late embryo mortality and improving hatchability.…”

“…It was determined that active ingredients found in these plants have antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects. As a result, the number of studies on the use of natural products instead of synthetic materials for the disinfection of hatching eggs has increased (Copur et al, 2010;Copur et al, 2011; Studies performed to determine the antibiotic effects of garlic have focused on the use of unprocessed garlic, garlic extract, or on its active ingredient, allicin, as tablets. Garlic contains two powerful antibiotics: allicin and garlicin (Makaklı, 1980), which have antibacterial actions against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Farbman et al, 1993).…”

“…Studies also report other methods for hatching egg disinfection, including ultraviolet light (Coufal et al, 2003;Al-Shammari et al, 2015), electrolyzed oxidizing water (Russell, 2003;Bialka et al, 2004;Keita et al, 2016), application of low and high frequency ultrasound (Yildirimet al, 2015;Al-Shammari et al, 2015), ozone (Hrcncar et al, 2012), and glutaraldehyde surfactant solution (Proudfoot et al, 1985). Natural products have been tested as alternatives to the use of formaldehyde, such as etheric thyme oil (Origanum vulgare), which has antimicrobial properties (Yildirim et al, 2003;Baydar et al, 2004;Copur et al, 2010;Debes & Basyony, 2011), propolis (Aygun et al, 2013) and allicin (Copur et al, 2011).…”

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of using garlic extract (Allium sativum) as an alternative to formaldehyde for the disinfection of hatching eggs on hatching traits and growth performance of quails. Four treatments, with 240 hatching eggs each, were evaluated: egg immersion in two different levels (2.5% and 5.0%) of garlic extract (garlic-1, garlic-2), formaldehyde fumigation (positive control), and eggs not submitted to disinfection (negative control). Mid-term and late embryomortality, pipped egg, and culled chick rates were not influenced by the (p>0.05). The highest (p<0.05) early embryo mortality rate was detected in the formaldehyde treatment (9.99%), and the lowest in garlic-2 treatment (2.68%). Hatchability of fertile eggs was the lowest in the formaldehyde group (83.78%), followed by the control (85.20%), garlic-1 (87.11%) and garlic-2 (88.72%) groups, respectively. The highest final body weight (5 weeks of age) was obtained in the garlic-2 group (304.1 g), followed by the control (294.13 g), formaldehyde (290.56 g), and garlic-1 (288.44 g), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). Feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not influenced by the treatments (p>0.05). The results obtained for hatching traits and live performance parameters indicated that the immersion of eggs in garlic extract may be used as an alternative to formaldehyde fumigation for the disinfection of hatching quail eggs.

“…Among the alternative methods of disinfection, UV C radiation is mentioned most frequently ( Al-Shammari et al., 2015 ). In addition, preparations applied directly on the egg shell, such as colloidal silver ( Batkowska et al., 2017 ), substances of natural origin, for example, propolis ( Aygun et al., 2012 , Batkowska et al., 2018 ), or plant extracts such as thyme ( Stahl-Biskup and Laakso, 1990 ) and cinnamon ( Ulucay and Yildirim, 2010 ), alicine ( Copur et al., 2011 ), oregano oil ( Yildirim et al., 2003 ), or red grapefruit juice ( Batkowska et al., 2018b ) are offered.…”

The sample consisted of 480 hatching eggs of Japanese quails and was divided into 4 groups. Before the transfer to the incubator, the first group was not disinfected (negative control). In the second group, eggs were disinfected by means of formaldehyde fumigation (positive control). In the third and fourth group, reactive oxygen forms were used for disinfection— perhydrol ( H 2 O 2 ) and ozone ( O 3 ), respectively. Eggs were incubated under standard conditions. On the 14th D, eggs were candled, and proportions of fertilized eggs and died embryos were calculated. In addition, samples were collected for microbiological examination. After 17.5 D, the results of the whole hatching were evaluated. Chicks were reared for 14 D. Their survivability and body weight gain were recorded. Disinfection by means of reactive oxygen forms did not prove to be more effective in reducing the number of bacterial colonies on the shell. Reduced hatching and significantly increased mortality in the O 3 group may indicate the negative impact of this gas on developing embryos. The results of hatching from eggs disinfected with H 2 O 2 did not differ from those obtained in control groups. The biggest chicks were obtained from O 3 disinfected eggs. However, during rearing, their growth did not match the one observed for birds in the remaining groups. Chicks hatched from eggs disinfected with H 2 O 2 were characterized by the largest survivability. Disinfection with reactive oxygen forms did not significantly improve the hygiene of hatching eggs, hatching performance, and quality of hatched chicks. Hydrogen peroxide, whose application offered satisfactory hatching results, may be the recommended disinfectant. On the other hand, O 3 appears to be undesirable because of its negative impact on bird embryos.
