An improved numerical model on primordial nucleosynthesis in an anisotropic cosmology is used to calculate the produced mass fractions of 2H, 3He, 4He, 7Li. The results are presented as a function of two parameters: B0, the anisotropy/radiation energy density ratio at T=5×1010 K, and η, the present baryon/photon ratio. The anisotropic results show that for fixed η there is practically no decrease with anisotropy in any of the abundances considered, and most increase. The relative increases found are for 2H: B0×1%; 3He: 0; 4He: B0×3%; 7Li: B0×6% for η<2×10-10 and 0 for η>5×10-10. This linear approximation is good for moderate values of B0. Larger anisotropy (B0>owig5) is unrealistic because of excess 4He production.
