Feed mills play a vital role in the success of the livestock industry. Feed mills operation in Oyo zone of Oyo state, Nigeria is as old as the livestock industry in the zone. However, very little information on the activities of the feed mills in the zone is available. This study was therefore carried out to elicit information on the activities of the feed mills in Oyo zone, Nigeria. A multistage sampling method was adopted for this study. In the first stage, Oyo zone was divided into four, while in the second stage 10 questionnaires were administered to feed millers in each of the four Local Government Areas (LGAs), making a total of 40 in all. All administered questionnaires were recovered, processed and subjected to descriptive statistics using frequency counts and percentages. From the result obtained, majority of the respondents had tertiary education (70.00%) and 65.00% of them were casual workers. The study also shows that majority of the feed mills in the study area were for commercial purposes (70.00%) and semi-automated (65.00%). Also, 67.50 claimed they had separate structures where they stored the feed ingredients and feeds and 72.50% of the feed millers claimed awareness of mycotoxins in feed ingredients and feeds. The study reveals that majority of the respondents financed their feed mill businesses through their personal savings (40.00%). It can be recommended that low interest credit facilities be provided to the feed millers by the concerned authorities to further boost their businesses.
