Inoculated breast muscles were subjected to dipping treatments and samples dipped in water were used as control. Results revealed that the mean L. monocytogenes count of water (control), ginger, ginger-garlic dipped samples were 4.35±0.06, 3.54±0.03, 3.58±0.03 and 3.45±0.03, respectively. The mean log values of all the treated samples were significantly lower (p≤0.05) than that of the control. Among the treatment groups, ginger-garlic treated samples had significantly lower (p≤0.05) L. monocytogenes count than that of garlic treated samples whereas the count did not differ significantly between the former and ginger treated samples.enVeterinary ScienceArticle
