Plasma -tocopherol levels in free-ranging black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) have previously been shown to be higher than in zoo animals (0.8 vs.0.2 g/ml, P< 0.001). Dietary vitamin E levels may be correlated with health problems observed in captivity. Plants (n=73) consumed by black rhinos w...

Previous work from our laboratory and others has documented differences in plasma alpha-tocopherol levels between zoo (0.2 micrograms/ml) and free-anging (0.8 micrograms/ml) black rhinos, and suggested that many captive animals may be suffering from vitamin E deficiency. This original comparison...

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...
