Only pure-bred breeding sheep and goats meeting the criteria laid down in Article 1 may be entered in one of the classes.

for the purposes of applying the combined nomenclature (11), pure-bred horses for breeding shall mean registered horses, with the exception of geldings.

P51 Pigs = J11 (piglets of less than 20 kilograms live weight) + J12 (breeding sows of 50 kilograms or more) + J13 (other pigs).
