Background: The study on morphometric characters on Mahakaushali goat population were conducted in Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh at Seoni, Chhindwara and Balaghat districts. This is a region of central India. Mahakaushal region is lies on upper or eastern reaches of Narmada River Valley at Madhya Pradesh state. The present research work was conducted under the project sanctioned by Science and Engineering Research Board, Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, India. 
 
Methods: Identification and morphometric characterization of local goat population known as &ldquo;Mahakaushali goat&rdquo; at Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh was carried out in accordance to the standard protocol of NBAGR, Karnal (Haryana). The information of morphological traits i.e. body coat colour, skin colour, horn shape, horn colour etc. were considered. The information&rsquo;s were collected during the survey of the native goat in the Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh. 
 
Result: The geographic distribution of &lsquo;Mahakaushali goat&rsquo; population was at Seoni, Chhindwara and Balaghat districts at Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh. It was observed that the animals of goat population were having white, black, light brown and mixed colour variants of body coat and skin colour. All animals in the Mahakaushali goat have medium-sized drooping (Vertical) pendulous ears. This is the peculiar characteristics of the goat. The tail has small to medium-sized hairs along its whole length, the thickness of the tail is about average and its orientation is in the upward direction. The survey was the first attempt to study the morphometric characteristics of Mahakaushali goat at Seoni, Chhindwara and Balaghat districts of Mahakaushal region at Madhya Pradesh state.
