## Description

This MCP server provides precision engineering tools for livestock management. It allows AI agents to determine physical footprints, calculate necessary feed bunk lengths and waterer counts, and predict how pen density and mud conditions will affect animal weight gain. Use `calculate_pen_dimensions` to establish the initial layout, `calculate_infrastructure_needs` for equipment requirements, `estimate_performance_impact` to assess health risks, and `validate_site_suitability` to ensure compliance with regional welfare standards.

## Tools

### calculate_infrastructure_needs
Calculates the necessary lengths for feeding and watering equipment

### calculate_pen_dimensions
Determines the physical footprint and number of pens required for a specific herd

### estimate_performance_impact
Predicts how the chosen pen density will affect animal weight gain and health

### validate_site_suitability
Checks if a proposed pen design meets minimum regulatory and welfare standards for a specific region

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the pen dimensions for 500 cattle weighing 450kg each, with a 50% utilization rate and a mud score of 3.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total required area is 12,500 m², consisting of 2 pens, each with an individual area of 6,250 m².
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much feed bunk length do I need for a pen with 50 animals weighing 500kg each, where the pen area is 1000 m² and the perimeter is 130 m?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required feed bunk length is 65 meters, with 2 waterers and a mound area requirement of 150 m².
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the expected weight gain impact for 100 animals in a 2000 m² pen with a mud score of 4?
```

**Response:** 
```
The density score is 0.05, resulting in a moderate weight gain impact and a medium stress risk level.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does mud score affect pen sizing?**
A higher mud score increases the required area per animal to maintain health and prevent overcrowding in wet conditions.

**Can I check if my design meets regional regulations?**
Yes, you can use the `validate_site_suitability` tool to check if a design meets specific regional welfare standards.

**What infrastructure details are provided?**
The `calculate_infrastructure_needs` tool provides the required feed bunk length, the number of waterers needed, and the required mound area for dry resting spots.
