About us
Sean Tully Animal Feeds Ltd is a family run business founded by Sean Tully who has over 40 years’ experience in the Animal Feed sector. Over the years Sean observed that an increasing amount of bi products from the bakery, confectionary and brewing industries were not been utilised to their full potential.

Sean as a farmer himself asked the question of how these products could be used for animal feed and in the last seven years has focused his attention to developing a high quality feed using these bi products. From trials supported by International Nutritionists we developed a formula of feed that enhances performance and improves animal health and welfare. The team supported by our nutritionist consistently monitor the performance of the animal feed and make necessary adjustments depending on ingredients available and time of year. Sean Tully Animal Feeds Limited have a strong awareness and desire to not alone improve the economic wellbeing of our customers but to also improve sustainability to our environment.
Sean Tully – Director
Sean starting farming in 1972 and continues to this day. He was the first farmer to build a 9-double bay slatted shed in Cavan at the age of 24. He grew his heard from 60 to 120 high yielding cows at this time whilst also exploring new ways of feeding to get the best results from his herd. He spent over 20 years milking before moving to a beef enterprise in 1993 comprising of continentals. The current herd consists of approximately 180 Friesian Bulls on a under 16-month bull to beef enterprise.

In 1978 Sean became an Agent for Guinness Breweries selling brewers’ grain. He sold this product across the North Midlands and Border Counties. Over this period Sean developed a large client base and in 1986 also became an agent for Greenvale selling sugar beet pulp and other straights until 1993.
In 2001, KW Forage became the sole agents for Guinness and Sean continued to work as a haulier for KW Forage until 2012. In 2002, to retain his existing client base built from his agent days for Guinness, Sean then sourced surplus foods to sell direct to farmers.
Sean gained an insight into the use of surplus foods as a distributor and sought better ways to improve the products. In 2012, Sean obtained a licence from the Department of Agriculture to manufacture, supply, import and store moist feeds containing surplus foods.
Through the help of nutritionists and trials with his own cattle and in conjunction with a dairy farmer, Sean developed the two products we supply today. Moist Super Beef and Moist Super Dairy.

With a good head for books, Raymond followed an academic road moving away from the farm but still having time to help out at the weekends and feed a few calves before heading to an office job.

Moist Super Beef is suitable for all beef stock including weanlings and finishers.
Energy is the key nutrient for beef animals. Energy content in feed dictates the live weight gain in cattle. Moist Super Beef is a high energy feed made from surplus foods and by-products such as bread, cake and distillers. A high concentrate of sugar is added to ensure consistent high levels of energy in the ration.
Growing stock:
The goal when feeding growing cattle is to get them eating plenty of fibre to grow their frame. Our moist feeds encourage intake due to their palatability and excellent protein and energy profile.
The immediate period after an animal enters a farm is the most critical time in the feedlot. Calves experience the greatest amount of stress and disease challenge leading up to and during this period, while feed and nutrient intakes are the most depressed. Proper nutrition is important to supply the immune system with the tools to respond effectively to eliminate or lessen the severity of the disease challenge.
Finishers:
The main aim of Finishing Cattle is to achieve efficient, cost effective gain in order to optimise profitability!
Moist Super Beef enhances feed efficiency and rumen function. Finishing cattle is done with one primary goal in mind: Efficiency! Feed efficiency is largely dependent on a consistent supply of high energy safely to the rumen. Therefore, improving ration consistency promotes more efficient gains. Our rations have been shown to increase ration consistency and energy density resulting in improved live-weight gain, younger slaughter weight and at higher weights.

Energy is the most important nutrient when considering feed options for dairy cattle. If cows are not receiving sufficient energy in their diets then milk production will decrease, milk protein levels will drop, body conditioning will fall and as a consequence fertility will fall resulting in difficulties in getting back into calf.
Moist Super Dairy is a high energy ration made from surplus food and by-products, such as bread, cake and distillers grains. Furthermore, a high concentrate of sugar is added to achieve this powerful dairy ration. Moist Super Dairy has a high digestibility from several different starches ensuring energy is released at every stage of the ruminant process.
Moist super dairy for dairy cows on grass:
Using a moist feed blend in a buffer feed to compliment grazed grass helps to achieve optimal carbohydrate and degradable protein balance in the rumen resulting in enhanced dry matter intake and milk production. Due to high starch and fibre the moist feed blends are ideal complements to grazed grass. With a 16% protein content the moist ration is an ideal buffer feed with high energy to balance with grass.
Moist super dairy for housed dairy cows:
Due to the many different sources of starch in Moist Super Dairy ration the rumen is stimulated for peak performance. The moist feed complements forages to ensure optimum use of the total intakes by cows. Furthermore, due to increased palatability the intakes are increased leading to greater production and profitability from the herd.
Moist super dairy for dry cows:
Body conditioning is essential for dry cows to ensure they calve down and begin the next lactation at the right body condition, neither too thin nor too fat. Super Moist Dairy can be utilised along with forage to control body conditioning during the dry period.
