## Description

This MCP server provides specialized calculation tools for swine production facilities. It determines infrastructure needs based on sow inventory and breeding schedules. Use `calculate_stall_requirements` for individual stall counts, `calculate_group_housing_needs` for communal pen and floor space requirements, and `calculate_esf_requirements` to determine the necessary number of electronic feeding stations. It also provides a `get_feeding_schedule_summary` to forecast weekly housing demand spikes.

## Tools

### calculate_esf_requirements
Determines the number of electronic feeding stations required for ESF-enabled group housing

### calculate_group_housing_needs
Calculates pen counts and total floor space for sows living in communal environments

### calculate_stall_requirements
Determines the total number of individual stalls needed for a specific population and breeding flow

### get_feeding_schedule_summary
Provides a high-level timeline of when housing demand will spike based on the breeding cycle

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many individual stalls do I need for 500 sows with this breeding schedule: [{"date": "2024-01-01", "count": 100}, {"date": "2024-02-01", "count": 50}]?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 150 stalls to cover the peak demand from these breeding waves.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the ESF station requirements for 200 sows in a group housing system with a group size of 20.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a group size of 20, you will need 4 ESF stations per pen to maintain an appropriate competition level.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the weekly demand forecast for a 114-day gestation period with this schedule: [{"date": "2024-03-01", "count": 200}]?
```

**Response:** 
```
The demand will spike starting March 1st and remain elevated for 114 days.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the number of individual stalls needed?**
You can use the `calculate_stall_requirements` tool by providing your total sow inventory and the breeding schedule as a JSON string.

**Can I calculate requirements for electronic sow feeding (ESF)?**
Yes, use the `calculate_esf_requirements` tool to determine the number of feeding stations needed based on your group size and total inventory.

**How does the tool handle group housing?**
The `calculate_group_housing_needs` tool calculates pen counts and floor space for both static and dynamic grouping strategies.
