Article Synopsis
- Penguins rely on waterproof feathers for survival, and their seasonal molt process can be stressful and requires fasting.
- Four Yellow-eyed Penguins received treatment for waterproofing loss and feather damage, but traditional feather regrowth methods were ineffective.
- A successful induced molt was achieved using fresh beef thyroid gland, resulting in complete feather regrowth in 18-26 days, although the new feathers had abnormal pigmentation.
