Stud (animal)




A stud in animal breeding is a male animal, such as a Horse or Dog , employed for breeding. The terms for the male of a given animal species ( Stallion , Bull , Rooster , etc.) usually imply that the animal is entire, that is, not Castrated , and therefore capable of standing at stud. A specialized vocabulary exists for de-sexed animals.

A Stud Farm , in Animal Husbandry , is an establishment for selective breeding using stud animals.
