Abstract

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were assessed in subadult to adult captive lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla) (n = 26) at two institutions with different husbandry and management practices. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations for gorillas managed predominantly indoors was low (14.2 ± 5.9 ng/ml), despite consuming commercial biscuits fortified with vitamin D. Concentrations of 25(OH)D in gorillas with near daily outdoor access were significantly higher than gorillas managed indoors, although many individuals still had serum values below concentrations recommended for adult humans. Consideration should be given to assessing 25(OH)D concentrations in all captive gorillas and providing specific supplementation, particularly to juveniles without access to direct sunlight.

摘要

在两个饲养和管理方式不同的机构中，对亚成年至成年的圈养低地大猩猩（Gorilla gorilla gorilla）（n = 26）的血清25-羟基维生素D浓度进行了评估。尽管食用了添加维生素D的商业饼干，但主要在室内饲养的大猩猩血清25-羟基维生素D（25[OH]D）浓度较低（14.2±5.9 ng/ml）。几乎每天都能接触户外的大猩猩的25(OH)D浓度显著高于室内饲养的大猩猩，不过许多个体的血清值仍低于推荐的成年人类浓度。应考虑评估所有圈养大猩猩的25(OH)D浓度，并提供特定补充剂，特别是对于无法直接接触阳光的幼年大猩猩。
