A '''stud''' in animal breeding is a male [[animal]], such as a [[horse]] or [[dog]], that is employed for [[breeding]]. The terms for the male of a given animal species ([[stallion]], [[Cattle|bull]], [[rooster]], etc.) usually mean that the animal is entire, that is, not [[Castration|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.
