'''These feathers show a condition known as Achromatosis or failure to lay down normal feather pigments.'''
<br>
<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1= What is the cause?
|a1= Achromatosis is caused by a variety of nutritional deficiencies in different species.
In this case the cause is choline deficiency during growth.
A lysine deficiency during growth causes achromatosis in dark breeds of chickens, turkeys and quail, but not in rock doves or cockatiels.
Achromatosis is caused by a riboflavin deficiency in growing cockatiels.
In all these cases, birds moult and grow normal feathers some time after the phase of rapid growth is complete.
|l1=
|q2= What is the significance?
|a2= The major significance of achromatosis is as a serious sign of an underlying nutritional deficiency. Unlike signs of some other deficiencies, it is not dependent on the severity of the deficiency except in extreme cases where the feathers may not grow at all.
|l2=
|q3= What treatments are needed to return feathers to their normal colour?
|a3= The proper course of action is to supply the limiting nutrient and, if the bird is still growing, observe growing feathers for normal pigmentation.
When growth is complete, a reduction in nutrient requirements occurs. This reduction in requirements may allow a diet inadequate for growth to serve as an adequate maintenance diet, allowing the bird to produce normal feather colours. In this case no treatment is required.
