As an ex-zookeeper, Yes, because of multiple reasons.
A) Seasonal vegetables are cheap and often donated
B) Seasonal items increase social media activity.
C) Seasonal items are typically in-line with natural cycles that align with wild animals.
There's literally no downside. Financial benefit, social benefit, and benefits to the well-being for the animal.

The San Diego zoo is the best zoo I've ever been to. The animals there seem very well taken care of.
