| Post-capture loss of appetite is potentially a life-threatening problem for free ranging white rhinos put into bomas, especially older bulls, with animals often not feeding for the first seven to ten days (or longer) post-capture (Rogers, 1993). Ideally, bomas should be situated so that anorecti... |

| All animals except the subadult bull were eating and drinking fairly well within one week of being placed into the bomas. The cow started eating by day four post-capture, with the calf suckling within 24 hours of release into the boma. The adult bull was eating by day six post-capture. They we... |

| Ten browses consumed by Sumatran rhinos in Malaysia contained less cellulose (14 to 23% of DM), but even higher lignin levels (8 to 24%) than black rhino browses, suggesting that south-east Asian forages may be less digestible than African browses. Total cell wall (NDF) averaged 50%; ADF, 27%. C... |
