According to dictionary.com, here are the definitions of each, which should explain the differences:

CURD: The part of milk that coagulates when the milk sours or is treated with enzymes. Curd is used to make cheese.

YOGURT: A custardlike food with a tart flavor, prepared from milk curdled by bacteria, especially Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, and often sweetened or flavored with fruit.

So.....curd is coagulated milk, treated with enzymes where as yogurt is curdled milk, treated with natural bacterias.

In India it is called as curd and in U.S.A, it is called as yogurt.They could be slightly different in using the bacterial culture,

yogurt and the curd are similar.but homemade is the curd and the yogurt that we get in the supermarkets. both can be stored in the refrigarator.curd may spoil with in 3 to 4 days but the yogurt can store for 15 days.

Yoghurt is made from a variety of milks but the term "curd" usually applies to fermented and thickened buffalo milk. Both products are white with a creamy consistency. Set yoghurt is a smooth, firm, white gel with a characteristic acidic taste made by fermenting cow milk. Other similar products can be made from goat or mare milk.

For curd preparation, milk is fermented with mixed natural lactic acid bacteria for making curd. It is inoculated with culture and fermentation is carried out at the right temperature. Lactic acid bacteria rapidly produces acid which at about pH 4.6 causes the coagulation of casein, making curd. Further production of acid not only increases sourness but also increases the compactness of the curd.

Yoghurt normally is prepared using pure culture. It may have only a single species or sometimes more. The selection of species is based on their ability for rapid production of lactic acid and development of flavour. Use of pure starter culture ensures uniform results batch after batch giving consistent production of yoghurt with same acidity, texture and flavour. Yoghurt and curd are widely used in Africa, Asia and Latin America to accompany a main meal. It is also used as a dessert or as a dressing for vegetable salads. It has a shelf-life of three to eight days, depending on the storage conditions. Stirred yoghurt is fermented in bulk, stirred and then dispensed into pots or sold into customers' containers. Set yoghurt is made by pouring the inoculated milk into pots and fermenting it in the pot.

Perhaps you mean yoghurt?

Curds are the insoluble proteins which separate from the liquid whey when renet is mixed with milk.

Yoghurt is whole milk that has been fermented using bacteria.

This is what I know,

yogurt is made by innoculating warm milk with cultures.

curd is made by curdling warm milk, like with lemon juice, vinegar, or rennet.
