## Description

This MCP server provides predictive modeling for cattle growth using National Research Council (NRC) nutritional standards. It allows AI agents to calculate expected daily gain, estimate the time needed to reach target weights, and project total feed requirements. By accounting for production systems like cow-calf, stocker, or feedlot, as well as environmental stressors like temperature and mud, it provides precise growth projections. Use `calculate_daily_gain` to determine growth rates, `estimate_days_to_target` for duration, and `project_feed_requirements` for nutritional planning.

## Tools

### analyze_environmental_impact
Evaluates how much growth potential is lost due to specific environmental conditions

### calculate_daily_gain
Determines how much weight an animal is expected to gain per day

### estimate_days_to_target
Calculates how long it will take for the animal to reach a specific weight

### project_feed_requirements
Estimates the total amount of feed needed to achieve the target weight

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the expected daily gain for a 500lb steer with a frame score of 5 and diet energy density of 0.8 in a feedlot system.
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected daily gain for this steer is 3.2 lbs per day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many days will it take for a 400lb animal with a daily gain of 2.5 lbs to reach 600lbs?
```

**Response:** 
```
It will take 80 days to reach the target weight of 600lbs.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the total feed needed for a 450lb animal to reach 650lbs with a daily gain of 2.0 lbs and a feed conversion ratio of 6.0.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total feed required to reach the target weight is 1,200 lbs.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What production systems are supported?**
The server supports cow-calf, stocker, and feedlot production systems.

**How does environmental stress affect the results?**
Environmental stressors like temperature and mud scores reduce the expected daily gain, which can be analyzed using `analyze_environmental_impact`.

**Can I calculate total feed needed for a specific weight goal?**
Yes, you can use `project_feed_requirements` to estimate the total feed needed to reach a target weight based on the feed conversion ratio.
