TL;DR: The positive effect of drugs on multiple pregnancies, the weight of rabbits and safety has been experimentally proven and the effect of Ked and LBA preparations on the reproductive qualities of rabbits is examined.
Abstract: Rabbit breeding is a promising branch of animal husbandry. Rabbits provide delicious dietary meat, valuable fur raw materials and down, while using cheap and affordable feed: grass, hay, branch feed, a little grain, and in poultry farming only grain. The development of rabbit breeding in our time requires a reliable infrastructure that connects supply and demand, processing, technological and veterinary services. In addition, all rabbit breeders must be united in a single organization. This article examines the effect of Ked and LBA preparations on the reproductive qualities of rabbits. The positive effect of drugs on multiple pregnancies, the weight of rabbits and safety has been experimentally proven.

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that of the various proposed dates two do appear to conform to the criteria to mark the beginning of the Anthropocene: 1610 and 1964.
Abstract: Time is divided by geologists according to marked shifts in Earth's state. Recent global environmental changes suggest that Earth may have entered a new human-dominated geological epoch, the Anthropocene. Here we review the historical genesis of the idea and assess anthropogenic signatures in the geological record against the formal requirements for the recognition of a new epoch. The evidence suggests that of the various proposed dates two do appear to conform to the criteria to mark the beginning of the Anthropocene: 1610 and 1964. The formal establishment of an Anthropocene Epoch would mark a fundamental change in the relationship between humans and the Earth system.

TL;DR: The domestication process has frequently reduced the sensitivity of animals to changes in their environment, perhaps the single-most important change accompanying domestication, and resulted in modified rates of behavioral and physical development.

TL;DR: Recent research in archaeology, genetics, and animal sciences are brought together in a discussion of the process of domestication, its impact on animal domesticates, and the various pathways humans and their animal partners have followed into domestication.
Abstract: Over the past 11,000 years humans have brought a wide variety of animals under domestication. Domestic animals belong to all Linnaean animal classes—mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and even, arguably, bacteria. Raised for food, secondary products, labor, and companionship, domestic animals have become intricately woven into human economy, society, and religion. Animal domestication is an on-going process, as humans, with increasingly sophisticated technology for breeding and rearing animals in captivity, continue to bring more and more species under their control. Understanding the process of animal domestication and its reciprocal impacts on humans and animal domesticates requires a multidisciplinary approach. This paper brings together recent research in archaeology, genetics, and animal sciences in a discussion of the process of domestication, its impact on animal domesticates, and the various pathways humans and their animal partners have followed into domestication.
