Swedish term or phrase: kull
What is the Engl. word when talking about studs (avelshingstar)? 'Litter' and 'brood' don't really seem appropriate.

foal
Explanation:
If I understand your question correctly, you want the English term for the result of a stallion mating with a mare, right? Since horses rarely produce more than one offspring at a time(as opposed to dogs for instance that produce many offspring), the end result is a foal.
