Sweden Livestock MCP

Swedish livestock welfare, feed, health, housing, movement rules, and breeding guidance via the Model Context Protocol. Query Jordbruksverket welfare regulations (SJVFS), SVA animal health guidance, CDB movement rules, stocking densities, and breeding calendars -- all from your AI assistant.

Sweden has stricter animal welfare standards than EU minimum: tail docking banned since 1988, farrowing crates banned, beak trimming banned, mandatory outdoor grazing for cattle (beteskrav), and conventional cages banned since 2004.

Why This Exists

Farmers, livestock advisors, and compliance professionals need quick access to Swedish animal welfare regulations, movement rules, feed tables, and breeding guidance. This information is published by Jordbruksverket, SVA, and Vaxa Sverige but is spread across PDFs, web pages, and statutory instruments (SJVFS) that AI assistants cannot query directly. This MCP server makes it all searchable.
