A study on the impact of urban development on the availability of fodder in harvesting areas in the district of Abidjan was carried out. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of urbanization on the supply areas for fodder plants in the Abidjan District. Statistics and surveys of fodder operators were carried out both on harvesting sites, fodder sales points and on livestock markets where harvested fodder was sold. The surveys and observations carried out made it possible to identify the fodder sampling sites present in the study area such as Yopougon (Gesco, BAE, Bonikro, Km 17 and high school crossroads), Abobo (Adjin, Quartier cemetery, Quartier cemetery, Abobo-Baoulé, Paris village), the Adjamé - Abobo axis (Paillet, Williamsville cemetery) and Port-Bouet 1. In total, 45 loads containing bundles of fodder were recorded and in which 23 species divided into 8 families were identified. The Poaceae family is the most dominant with 35% of the species encountered. Each bale of fodder is generally made up of a mixture of several plant species. The results of the survey tell us that, the sampling areas are becoming more and more remote due to urbanization, which leads foragers to travel long distances to obtain supplies. According to the latter, despite the long distances involved in harvesting, this has no influence on the floristic list of species and on the quantity and cost of their product. However, actors are aware of the degradation and disappearance of fodder harvesting areas in favor of urbanization. Each bale of fodder is generally made up of a mixture of several plant species.
