Forest resources make a significant contribution to food security and public health in sub-Saharan Africa. Many studies have been conducted in this field, but very few have focused on the role of galactogenic plants in breastfeeding-related disorders. The study was conducted in the city of Abeche, capital of the Ouaddai region, a hub in eastern Chad. Its objective was to contribute to the study of galactogenic plants in this city. To this end, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 54 people. It consisted of compiling endogenous knowledge on the various galactogenic plants and their uses. The results showed that the vast majority of respondents (84.9%) had information about galactogenic plants.
