Despite a higher food intake, daily metabolizable energy intake was lower when fed WR (308\u2009kJ\u2009BW<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) compared with SB (347\u2009kJ\u2009BW<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) (<jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>0.002). The ratio of protein to fat was markedly lower for WR (2.3:1) compared with SB (8.8:1), which was reflected in higher serum urea levels when fed SB (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.033), and a tendency for elevated cholesterol levels when fed WR (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.055). Taurine intake of cheetahs fed WR was low (0.06% on DM basis); however, analytical error during taurine analysis cannot be ruled out. Feeding WR resulted in a well\u2010balanced mineral intake, in contrast to SB. The latter provided a low calcium:phosphorus ratio (1:2.3), thereby increasing the risk of metabolic bone disease. The high zinc content of SB (200\u2009mg\/kg DM), compared with WR (94\u2009mg\/kg DM), was reflected in higher serum zinc concentrations (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.011). Feeding WR resulted in an increase in serum vitamin A (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.011). Therefore, the risk of hypervitaminosis A in captive cheetahs when fed WR exclusively on a long\u2010term basis should be evaluated. Our findings suggest that neither diet is likely to provide appropriate nutrition to captive cheetahs when fed exclusively.
