Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss the problem of the lack of a code or other similar document that would regulate the taxonomy of domestic animals. Unfortunately, now modern zoological systematics does not consider domestic animals as objects of its research. Thus, in modern zoological science there is a serious problem of systematics of animals cultivated by man. The current taxonomic system is incomplete because it does not take into account the huge number of domestic animals. Currently, the application of zoological systematics to domestic animals would acquire an important role as a kind of zoological and DNA-genealogical marker, indicating the distinctive properties of the object under study. In our opinion, for application in domestic animals taxonomy, the experience and methods of modern botanical taxonomy could be used as a basis, recognizing a number of taxonomic categories as a rank below a subspecies (for example, variety, grex, cultivar, cultivar group (or group), cultigen etc.).
