The Kangayam or Kangeyam is an Indian breed of draught cattle from the state of Tamil Nadu, in South India.

[9] Kangayam cattle are valued for their moderate size, robust nature, and impressive athleticism, making them highly sought-after as draft animals.

A moderately long tail, featuring a black switch that extends well below the hocks, completes the breed's physical traits.

[10][12] The two variations of this breed exhibit remarkable strength and agility, boasting compact bodies and sturdy, short legs with robust hooves.

Conversely, the larger variety showcases longer horns that curve outward and backward, nearly forming a complete circle as they approach the tips.

The breed's head is proportionate to its body, featuring a modest size and a straighter profile compared to most Mysore-type cattle.

[4] The staple food of this breed that grow in this region are Kollukattaipul (Cenchrus ciliaris), Vennampul (Trachys muricata), Ottampul (Setaria verticillata) and legumes such as Naripayathan Kodi (Phaseolus trilobus).

[4] Poochi Kaalai (a stud bull) is selected on the basis of its height, the length of its legs, and the formation of its hump.

On the other hand, cows predominantly possess white and gray coats, often adorned with distinct markings on the knees and above the fetlocks of all four legs.

Calves exhibit shades of light or dark brown, with gray or white areas on the inner thighs, ears, and forelegs.
