## Description

This MCP server provides specialized calculation tools for livestock management. It uses ASABE and NRC standards to determine the exact water requirements for animals based on physiological and environmental factors. Use `calculate_daily_intake` to find the net free water needed per animal, `estimate_peak_flow_requirements` to design water delivery infrastructure, `recommend_storage_capacity` for remote grazing planning, and `analyze_heat_stress_impact` to evaluate how temperature and humidity drive water demand.

## Tools

### analyze_heat_stress_impact
Evaluates how environmental conditions drive the increase in water demand

### calculate_daily_intake
Determines the total volume of free water an individual animal requires per day

### estimate_peak_flow_requirements
Calculates the necessary flow rate for water delivery systems

### recommend_storage_capacity
Provides storage volume recommendations for remote or off-grid grazing locations

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much water does a 500kg beef cow need daily if it's 30°C and 60% humidity?
```

**Response:** 
```
A 500kg beef cow in those conditions requires approximately 45.5 liters of free water per day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required storage for 100 sheep for 5 days of autonomy?
```

**Response:** 
```
For 100 sheep with 5 days of autonomy, the recommended tank volume is 1,250 liters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the peak flow for a system serving 50 animals with a 4-hour drinking window.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required peak flow rate for this system is 12.5 liters per minute.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool account for heat stress?**
The engine uses the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) via `analyze_heat_stress_impact` to adjust water intake requirements based on environmental stress levels.

**Can I plan for remote grazing locations?**
Yes, you can use `recommend_storage_capacity` to determine the necessary tank volumes and safety buffers for off-grid or remote grazing sites.

**Does it consider the water temperature?**
Yes, `calculate_daily_intake` allows you to input the water temperature to account for its effect on animal intake.
