| Captive black rhinoceroses (Diceros bicornis) examined at several zoos have been found to have very low plasma vitamin E concentrations (Dierenfeld and others 1988, Ghembremeskel and others 1988, Lewis and Kirkwood 1990). It has been suggested that this may be a factor in the aetiology of the ha... |

| Previous work in our laboratory and others has shown differences in plasma alpha-tocopherol levels between zoo (0.2 micrograms/mi) and free-ranging (0.8 micrograms/ml) black rhinos. Because this is a measure of vitamin E activity, the result suggested that many captive animals may be suffering f... |

| 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... |
