## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for managing Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feeding operations. It connects AI agents to precise calculations for mixer capacity, mixing efficiency, and workflow validation. Use `calculate_batch_specs` to determine the weight and volume of a single batch based on ingredient density and fill factor. Use `estimate_mixing_performance` to predict daily batch counts and mixing times. The server also includes `evaluate_feeding_workflow` to ensure current equipment meets herd demands and `check_expansion_readiness` to forecast if your mixer can handle a growing herd.

## Tools

### calculate_batch_specs
Determines the physical characteristics (weight and volume) of a single TMR batch based on the recipe

### check_expansion_readiness
Predicts if the current mixer will be able to handle a larger herd in the future

### estimate_mixing_performance
Calculates how long it takes to complete a mix and how many batches can be done in a day

### evaluate_feeding_workflow
Validates if the current mixer configuration can support the specific herd requirements

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the batch specs for a vertical mixer with 10m3 capacity and a 0.8 fill factor using 500kg of corn silage (density 0.6) and 100kg of soybean meal (density 0.6).
```

**Response:** 
```
The total weight of the batch is 600kg and the total volume is 1000L.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will my mixer be able to handle a herd growing from 100 to 150 animals if each animal eats 25kg per day?
```

**Response:** 
```
The current capacity limit is 2500kg per day, while the projected requirement for 150 animals is 3750kg per day. Your current mixer is not sufficient for this expansion.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many batches can I run in an 8-hour workday if each batch takes 20 minutes to mix?
```

**Response:** 
```
You can complete 24 batches in an 8-hour workday.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the weight of my TMR batch?**
You can use the `calculate_batch_specs` tool. Provide the list of ingredients with their densities, the mixer type, the rated capacity, and the fill factor to get the total weight and volume.

**Can this tool help me plan for a larger herd?**
Yes, the `check_expansion_readiness` tool allows you to input your current and projected herd sizes to determine if your current mixer capacity is sufficient for future growth.

**What is a fill factor?**
The fill factor is the fraction of the mixer's total rated capacity that can be safely used to ensure proper mixing without overloading the equipment.
