The Kangayam or Kangeyam is an Indian breed of draught cattle from the state of Tamil Nadu, in South India.[3]: 211  Its area of origin is Kongu Nadu, the region surrounding Coimbatore, close to the border between Tamil Nadu and Kerala,[4][5]: 214  but it is distributed over a considerably wider area.[6]: 410  The breed name derives from that of the town of Kangeyam.[7] It may also be called Kanganad or Kongu.[2]
