## Description

This MCP server provides technical planning tools for agricultural professionals to manage silage storage. Use `calculate_storage_capacity` to determine required volumes and physical dimensions for bunker, bag, or tower silos based on herd size and silage density. The server also includes tools to `estimate_silage_losses` due to environmental factors, `generate_filling_schedule` for machinery planning, and `calculate_removal_requirements` to ensure silage quality is maintained through proper removal rates.

## Tools

### calculate_storage_capacity
Determines the total volume required and suggests physical dimensions for a specific silo type

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much storage volume do I need for 500 cows eating 25kg of silage daily for 180 days with a density of 600kg/m3 using a bunker silo?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a herd of 500 cows, you require a total storage volume of 375 cubic meters. For a bunker silo with a target width of 10 meters, the dimensions would be 10 meters wide, 3.75 meters high, and 10 meters long.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the filling schedule for 1000 cubic meters of silage if my machinery can pack 200 cubic meters per day.
```

**Response:** 
```
It will take 5 days to complete the filling process. You should target 200 cubic meters per day to finish on schedule.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the removal requirements for a 500 cubic meter bunker silo for 200 animals eating 30kg of silage daily at 550kg/m3 density?
```

**Response:** 
```
The daily volume removal rate is 10.91 cubic meters. For a bunker silo of this size, you must ensure rapid removal to stay within the critical spoilage window.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the volume needed for my herd?**
You can use the `calculate_storage_capacity` tool. Provide the total herd size, the daily intake per animal, the duration of the feeding period, and the silage density to get the required volume and suggested dimensions.

**Can I plan for different types of silos?**
Yes, the tool supports planning for bunker silos, bag silos, and tower silos.

**How does the tool account for spoilage?**
The `estimate_silage_losses` tool calculates potential losses from spoilage, fermentation, and runoff based on your chosen storage type and environmental risk levels.
