Abstract

The mean plasma level of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) measured in 31 free-ranging black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) than that in 11 captive animals (means +/- SE = 0.77 +/- 0.05 and 0.18 +/- 0.03 micrograms/ml, respectively). Vitamin E status may influence the health of captive black rhinoceros; in particular, it may be linked to hemolytic anemia commonly observed in these animals in captivity.

摘要

在31头自由放养的黑犀牛（双角犀属）中测得的α-生育酚（维生素E）平均血浆水平显著高于11头圈养动物（P<0.001）（平均值±标准误分别为0.77±0.05和0.18±0.03微克/毫升）。维生素E状态可能会影响圈养黑犀牛的健康；特别是，它可能与这些圈养动物中常见的溶血性贫血有关。
