, Commercial papers should be cited in an appropriate context and should be easily consulted. Details of items Location: at least city or region

, Size of sample: Indicate the size of the sample for the different trials/items of the work. Establish a minimum size per treatment (i.e. 8 rabbits per digestibility and 30 per fattening trial) below which results cannot be considered, to be reliable. Reproduction: -Imposed rhythm of reproduction. -Days from parturition to mating/insemination. -Days from negative test of pregnancy to 2 nd and following mating/insemination, Time when the experiment took place: initial and final month

, Equalisation of litters: -Frequency of inspections. -Origin of replaces (same farm/same treatment; age and weight of replaces)

, Number and moment at which it is equalized (at birth, for 1 week, for the whole lactation

, Milk measure: frequency and method (mother or litter weight)
