In biology, offspring is the product of reproduction, a new organism produced by one or more parents.

Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny in a more general way. This can refer to a set of simultaneous offspring, such as the chicks hatched from one clutch of eggs, or to all the offspring, as with the honeybee.

Human offspring (descendants) are referred to as children (without reference to age, thus one can refer to a parent's "minor children" or "adult children"); male children are sons and female children are daughters. See kinship and descent.

The word "fetus" is derived from the Latin word for "offspring."

What month do female horses normally deliver their offspring?
Q. What year does a female horse deliver her offspring?
Asked by k - Fri Apr 18 18:04:54 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. gestation period for a mare is about 11 months so depending on when they were bred you can calculate the foal date, most reputable breeders have records of dates when the mare were bred and have vet checks done to confirm conception. Competitors who show halter have foals born early so they will be bigger than the competition so foaling towards the end of jan or early feb is desirable...thats mosly breed specfic horses. Expensive and born in heated barns. Normally horses are foaled in warmer months and can foal as late as aug.

If your clownfish have offspring what do you do with them?
Q. I was thinking of setting up a saltwater aquarium with a pair of clownfish, but if they produce offspring I have no idea what I would do with them. I don't mean how to care for them. I mean the adolescent fish. I guess I could just have one clownfish, but I read that they do better in pairs.

A. Clownfish don't need to be kept in pairs to be happy and healthy, but a pair will make an interesting display in your aquarium. If you are considering raising Clownfish, I would suggest reading the book "Clownfishes" by Joyce D. Wilkerson. Her book contains a lot of very useful information on the captive breeding of Clownfish.
