Physiology
Black Rhino
|
| Requirements for vitamins and trace elements and their physiological concentrations in wild animals have not been fully investigated. Captive exotic animals, particularly herbivore browsers, often suffer from diseases caused or predisposed by nutritional imbalance or deficiency. Of these nutrie... |

| The alpha-tocopherol values of the wild rhinos were significantly greater (P <0.001) than those of the captive species. Brysh and Anderson (1986) were unable to detect alpha-tocopherol in serum of captive black rhinoceroses. The mean alpha-tocopherol / total lipid ratio of the free-ranging spec... |

Black Rhino
|
| Fatal haemolytic anaemia has often been observed in captive black rhinoceros. Miller et al. (1986) in their survey of North American, European and Japanese zoos reported 27 episodes in 21 animals of which 17 died. The aetiology of the disease is not well understood, although red cell parasites,... |
