Axone (Akhuni) is a homemade synbiotic (Nagamese fermented soybean product) served as side dish in North Eastern India. In this study, effects of Axone feeding on growth, weight gain, sexual maturity and egg production on Vanaraja birds (a strain of poultry bird developed at PDP Hyderabad for villages and backyard poultry) were evaluated. Axone incorporation in commercial poultry feed at the rate of 5% (W/W) significantly improved growth rate (weight gain) both in male (p 0.001) and female (p 0.05) chicks, reduced age by 13 days at first egg laying (p 0.01), increased egg production (p ≤ 0.001) and improved egg weight (p ≤ 0.01). Microbiological analysis of Axone sample revealed that the major bacteria in Axone samples were Bacillus coagulans, well known for their probiotic value.
阿克松（阿库尼）是一种自制的合生元（那加人发酵大豆制品），在印度东北部作为配菜食用。在本研究中，评估了投喂阿克松对瓦纳拉贾鸡（海得拉巴家禽发展项目为农村和后院家禽培育的一种家禽品系）生长、体重增加、性成熟和产蛋量的影响。以5%（重量/重量）的比例将阿克松添加到商品家禽饲料中，显著提高了雄性（p<0.001）和雌性（p<0.05）雏鸡的生长速度（体重增加），使首次产蛋的年龄提前了13天（p<0.01），提高了产蛋量（p≤0.001）并改善了蛋重（p≤0.01）。对阿克松样品的微生物分析表明，阿克松样品中的主要细菌是凝结芽孢杆菌，其益生菌价值广为人知。
