## Description

This MCP server provides precision nutrition tools for dairy management. Use `calculate_nutrient_requirements` to determine specific NEL, MP, and mineral needs based on cow weight, milk yield, and body condition. Use `simulate_ration_performance` to predict milk yield using CNCPS carbohydrate fractions, or `optimize_ration_cost` to find the most cost-effective ingredient mix. Finally, use `check_mineral_safety` to evaluate metabolic risks like milk fever.

## Tools

### check_mineral_safety
Evaluates if a proposed ration poses a risk for metabolic issues related to mineral imbalances

### simulate_ration_performance
Predicts how a specific set of ingredients will perform based on the CNCPS carbohydrate fractions

### calculate_nutrient_requirements
Determines the specific nutritional targets a cow needs based on her current physiological state

### optimize_ration_cost
Finds the most cost-effective combination of ingredients that meets all nutrient requirements

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the nutrient requirements for a 650kg cow producing 35kg of milk with 4% fat and 3.5% protein, 60 days in milk, and a BCS of 3.2?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required nutrients are 18.5 Mcal NEL, 12.4 kg MP, 2.1 kg RDP, 1.8 kg RUP, with mineral requirements of 0.65% Ca and 0.35% P.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the performance of a ration with 50% corn silage and 50% alfalfa hay using specific carbohydrate fractions.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted daily milk yield is 32.5 kg with a fat content of 3.8% and protein content of 3.2%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Find the cheapest way to meet these targets: 18 Mcal NEL and 12 kg MP using corn, soybean meal, and silage.
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimized ration consists of 45% corn silage, 35% soybean meal, and 20% corn, resulting in a cost of $0.32 per liter of milk.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the specific needs for my cow?**
You can use the `calculate_nutrient_requirements` tool. Provide the cow's weight, milk production, fat/protein content, days in milk, and body condition score.

**Can I optimize my feed costs?**
Yes, the `optimize_ration_cost` tool finds the most cost-effective combination of ingredients that meets all your required nutrient targets.

**How does the tool check for metabolic risks?**
The `check_mineral_safety` tool evaluates the mineral balance in a proposed ration against the cow's status to identify risks like milk fever.
