- •
Captive-born female southern white rhinoceros (SWR) exhibit poor fertility.
- •
We investigated whether developmental exposure to phytoestrogens is a potential cause.
- •
Many components of captive SWR diets are estrogenic.
- •
We found a significant negative correlation between diet estrogenicity and fertility of captive-born female SWR.
- •
Our data suggest feeding low phytoestrogen diets to SWR should be strongly considered.
