## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for broiler producers to maintain optimal environmental conditions. By analyzing bird age, weight, and environmental factors, it calculates the necessary airflow to prevent overheating and wet litter. Use `calculate_ventilation_requirements` to determine the required CFM for moisture and heat removal, `simulate_fan_performance` to verify if your current fan setup can handle the load under specific static pressure, and `optimize_ventilation_strategy` to decide whether to prioritize moisture control or temperature control.

## Tools

### optimize_ventilation_strategy
Provides a recommendation on whether to prioritize moisture control or temperature control

### simulate_fan_performance
Determines if the existing or proposed fan setup can meet the calculated ventilation needs

### calculate_ventilation_requirements
Calculates the core airflow needs based on the biological and environmental state of the broiler house

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the ventilation needs for 20,000 birds weighing 2kg each, aged 25 days, with an outside temperature of 30°C and target inside temperature of 24°C, humidity at 60%, and litter moisture at 25%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required minimum ventilation is 45,000 CFM, driven by the heat removal requirement to maintain the target temperature.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need 50,000 CFM. I have 4 fans, each rated at 15,000 CFM, and my static pressure is 0.2 inches. Will this work?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the total actual CFM achievable at 0.2 inches of static pressure is 42,000 CFM, which is below your 50,000 CFM requirement.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
The moisture removal requirement is 30,000 CFM and the heat removal requirement is 25,000 CFM. Outside temperature is 10°C and target is 25°C. What should I do?
```

**Response:** 
```
The primary driver is moisture. You should use the recommended mode: minimum_ventilation.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if my fans are sufficient?**
You can use the `simulate_fan_performance` tool. Provide the required CFM, the static pressure of your house, and your fan specifications to see if the actual achievable CFM meets your needs.

**What is the difference between moisture and heat removal requirements?**
Moisture removal focuses on keeping litter dry by removing humidity, while heat removal focuses on maintaining the target temperature by removing metabolic heat. The `calculate_ventilation_requirements` tool provides both values.

**Can this tool help with cold weather management?**
Yes. By using `optimize_ventilation_strategy`, you can determine if you should prioritize minimum ventilation to prevent chilling during cold periods.
