Abstract

The Kangayam breed of cattle has its home in Coimbatore District extending from Dharapuram Taluk to Palni Taluk of Madurai District. They have many characteristics in common with Mysore cattle (Olver 1938) and an admixture of the blood of Ongole cattle (Phillips 1944). The purity of the breed is being maintained by the well known cattle breeder, the Pattagar of Palayakottai, whose forefathers dedicated themselves to rear this breed. Even today the finest specimens are to be found in the herd of the Pattagar.
