Usage of basil leaf extracts (Ocimum Basilicum L.) Herbs plant as Unconventional Hatching Egg Sanitizer Versus Formaldehyde Fumigation in Baheig Eggs
Abstract
The study compared the effectiveness of basil leaf extracts (Ocimum basilicum L.) and formaldehyde fumigation in disinfecting Baheig and Matrouh hatching eggshells to Optimize hatching outcomes and chick performance. Hatchability was consistent across bird breeds, but Matrouh chicks showed better quality in terms of LBW, FCR, and viability compared to Baheig pullets at 4 or 8 Wks of age. Notably, ocimum basilicum treatment resulted in higher hatchability and lower embryo mortality compared to formaldehyde fumigation. Chicks from the ocimum basilicum group exhibited better weight at hatch and superior performance in terms of LBW and FCR at 4 or 8 Wks of age. The study demonstrated that ocimum basilicum extract effectively reduced total bacterial count on hatching eggshells, highlighting its potential as a natural disinfectant.
Keywords:
