## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to analyze sorghum grain quality. Use `predict_tannin_levels` to estimate tannin concentrations based on grain color, pericarp thickness, and variety type. Once levels are known, `analyze_nutritional_impact` determines if the grain is suitable for human food or animal feed by calculating protein digestibility reduction. For livestock applications, `estimate_feed_value` calculates the expected nutritional grade, including the potential benefits of enzyme supplementation to mitigate tannin effects.

## Tools

### analyze_nutritional_impact
Evaluates how the predicted tannin levels affect protein availability and determines the grain's primary use case

### estimate_feed_value
Calculates the potential nutritional value of the sorghum when used for animal feed, considering enzyme intervention

### get_variety_guidelines
Provides the standard threshold limits and typical characteristics for the different sorghum varieties

### predict_tannin_levels
Predicts the concentration of tannins based on physical grain characteristics and environmental factors

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the predicted tannin level for a Type I white sorghum with a low environmental stress index?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted tannin concentration for this Type I sorghum is 0.05 catechin equivalents.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a sorghum with 15 catechin equivalents suitable for human food?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, with 15 catechin equivalents, the suitability category is 'Feed' due to the protein digestibility reduction.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the feed grade for Type III sorghum if I use enzyme supplementation?
```

**Response:** 
```
With enzyme supplementation, the adjusted digestibility is improved, resulting in a 'Standard' feed grade.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I predict the tannin concentration?**
You can use the `predict_tannin_levels` tool by providing the grain color, pericarp thickness, whether the testa is pigmented, the variety type, and the environmental stress index.

**Can I determine if sorghum is safe for human consumption?**
Yes. After predicting the tannin levels, use `analyze_nutritional_impact` to see if the suitability category is 'Food'.

**How does enzyme supplementation affect feed quality?**
Using `estimate_feed_value` with enzyme supplementation enabled will show a higher adjusted digestibility, as enzymes help mitigate the negative impact of tannins on protein absorption.
