The present study was carried out in the herd of Gir cow and aim of the study is to find out relationship between milk constituents. The overall least square means for test day milk yield, fat percentage, solid not fat, protein percentage, lactose percentage total solids percentage were found to be 5.290 ± 0.081 kg per day, 4.399 ± 0.018, 8.632 ± 0.021 percent, 3.173 ± 0.011 percent, 4.582 ± 0.015 percent and 13.031 ± 0.028. Highly significant and positive correlation was observed between fat and total solid (0.762), fat and solid not fat (0.241) fat and protein (0.094) and fat and lactose (0.203). Highly significant and positive correlations were concluded between fat, solid not fat, lactose and total solids content of the milk. This may be indicates that selection of one milk constituents will bring improvement in other milk constituents also in Gir cow.
