## Description

This MCP server provides precise calculations for livestock management. It determines the physical length of feed bunks needed based on species, animal weight, and social competition factors. Users can use `calculate_bunk_requirements` to find required bunk length and overcrowding risks, `estimate_feed_delivery_rate` to plan feed supply, `generate_management_schedule` to create feeding timelines, and `check_occupancy_safety` to verify if existing infrastructure is sufficient for the herd.

## Tools

### calculate_bunk_requirements
Determines the physical length of the feed bunk required for a specific group of animals

### check_occupancy_safety
Evaluates if a specific existing bunk length is sufficient for a group

### estimate_feed_delivery_rate
Calculates the total amount of feed that must be supplied to the bunk per feeding event

### generate_management_schedule
Provides a structured feeding timeline based on desired frequency

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much bunk space do I need for 50 cattle weighing 500kg each using headlocks?
```

**Response:** 
```
For 50 cattle at 500kg each using headlocks, you need a total bunk length of 1250 cm, including a recommended buffer of 150 cm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the feed delivery rate for 100 sheep weighing 40kg, fed 3 times a day.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total daily feed requirement is 600 kg, which means you need to supply 200 kg of feed per feeding event.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 500cm bunk safe for 20 goats weighing 30kg each with a fenceline design?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the current bunk length is sufficient. The capacity is at 85% and the status is Safe.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does social behavior affect bunk space?**
Dominant animals often take up more space, pushing others away. The `calculate_bunk_requirements` tool uses a social factor to add buffer space to ensure all animals can feed.

**Can I check if my current bunk is large enough?**
Yes, you can use the `check_occupancy_safety` tool by providing your existing bunk length and animal details to see if the status is Safe or Critical.

**How do I plan my daily feeding times?**
You can use `generate_management_schedule` to create an even distribution of feeding times throughout a 24-hour cycle based on your desired frequency.
