During a 7 mo exhibit loan, diets of two juvenile female giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) were monitored. Mineral [calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), zinc (Zn)] and vitamin (beta-carotene and total tocopherol) concentrations in the diet were quantified as well as in a serum sample obtained from one of these animals. Diets consumed by the pandas contained (dry matter basis): 0.82% Ca, 0.62% P, 1.05% K, 14.3 mg/kg Cu, 31.8 mg/kg Zn, 12.2 mg/kg beta-carotene, and 12 mg/kg total tocopherol. Serum values for these vitamins and minerals were within reported normal limits for the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus). This diet appeared to provide adequate nutrition for maintenance and growth.
在为期7个月的展品借展期间，对两只幼年雌性大熊猫（大熊猫）的饮食进行了监测。对饮食以及从其中一只动物采集的血清样本中的矿物质[钙（Ca）、铜（Cu）、磷（P）、钾（K）、锌（Zn）]和维生素（β-胡萝卜素和总生育酚）浓度进行了定量分析。大熊猫食用的饮食（以干物质计）含有：0.82%钙、0.62%磷、1.05%钾、14.3毫克/千克铜、31.8毫克/千克锌、12.2毫克/千克β-胡萝卜素和12毫克/千克总生育酚。这些维生素和矿物质的血清值在眼镜熊（眼镜熊）报告的正常范围内。这种饮食似乎为维持和生长提供了充足的营养。
