Axone, a Probiotic for Pigs Promotes Growth Rate in Grower and Suckling Piglets of Large Black Breed
نویسنده
چکیده
Axone (Akhuni), a homemade Nagamese fermented soybean product, is known for its umami flavor and taste and eaten as a delicacy in North Eastern India. Incorporation of Axone (1% w/w) in commercial poultry feed significantly improved growth rate (weight gain) both in piglets (p, 0.01) and grower pigs (p, 0.039). However, in grower pigs, growth rate was hampered in first week of experiment (p, 0.045) probably due to smelliness of Axone, feed was not consumed in required quantity by pigs. The study revealed that addition of Axone in pig feed might be significantly effective to get better production and can boost the profit of pig farmers.

متن کاملEffect of the probiotic Enterococcus faecium NCIMB10415 on cell numbers of total Enterococcus spp., E. faecium and E. faecalis in the intestine of piglets.
Sows and their piglets were fed a diet supplemented with or without the probiotic E. faecium NCIMB10415 (also known as SF68). Piglets were sacrificed 14, 28, 35 and 56 days after birth and DNA from intestinal segments was extracted and purified. A real time PCR assay was used to distinguish Enterococcus spp. (16s rDNA based), E. faecium (Efaafm gene), E. faecalis (Efaafs gene) as well as the pr...

no. 613 An experiment was set up in order to estimate realized genetic trends in the French Large White (LW) pig breed. Two groups of pigs (G77 and G98) were produced by inseminating LW sows with semen of LW boars born in 1977 or in 1998. Three generations of G77 and G98 pigs were produced by inter se matings. Farrowing and early lactation periods were thoroughly investigated on a total of 137 ...
