Agriculture (25)	Semen Ova and Embryos (1)
description:	Ontomatica's Semen Ova and Embryos Data Application integrates relevant ontology rules (items, properties, relationships and constraints) with relevant data sets. The Semen Ova and Embryos Data Application is used to specify absence of specific pathogens that might be conveyed by semen, ova and embryos and processes to avoid contamination of female recipients and their offspring. Background: Fertility is the natural capability to produce offspring. As a measure, fertility rate is the number of offspring born per mating pair, individual or population. Fertility differs from fecundity, which is defined as the potential for reproduction (influenced by gamete production, fertilization and carrying a pregnancy to term). A lack of fertility is infertility while a lack of fecundity would be called sterility. Human fertility depends on factors of nutrition, sexual behavior, consanguinity, culture, instinct, endocrinology, timing, economics, way of life, and emotions.
