- W229434557 abstract "The idea of a Sumatran rhino breeding programme was born in 1982 at a meeting of the Asian Rhino Specialist Group (KHAN, 1989). At this time, the logging activity in Sabah was fast developing. Large areas of rainforest, the natural habitat of the Sumatran rhinos, were converted into oil palm plantations (BOSI, 1996), resulting in a decrease of Sumatran rhino numbers by over 50 % (FOOSE and VAN STRIEN, 1997). Based on these facts, it was decided to establish a local capture and breeding program in Sabah, Malaysia. A rhino breeding centre was built, and all rhinos that were exposed to poaching due to the loss of their habitat were captured (BOSI, 1996). However, the lack of information about the natural behaviour of the rhinos, their nutritional requirements and their social and reproductive behaviour lead to problems in the captive management and breeding of the species. In recent years, information about the nutritional requirements (DIERENFELD et al., 2006) and the reproductive physiology of the species (ROTH et al., 2001, ROTH et al., 2004) has improved, but there are still a lot of challenges in the management of this species. A recently occurring problem in Sumatran rhino facilities is a so called ‘ocular syndrome’. The eyes become cloudy, impeding the animal’s vision and in severe cases the rhino goes blind (Roth, 2005). The syndrome has already been observed in different rhino facilities (SCHAFFER, ROTH, pers. comm., 2009) but the cause of the syndrome is still not found. Exposure to direct sunlight has been discussed as one possible reason for the turbid eye, but so far a publication describing the syndrome and its circumstances is still lacking. In the Sumatran rhino facility in Sabah, Malaysia, we observed the development of an ocular disorder in the male and female Sumatran rhino. The female had 2 consecutive eye disorders 1 month apart from each other and she became blind on both eyes after the second incident. The male rhino developed an ocular disorder in his right eye leading to a partial blindness." @default.
