Milk production and overall dairy farm economics depend on rearing dairy heifers. This study investigated the presence of a genotype by environment interaction in Holstein (HOL), Nordic Red dairy cattle (RDC), and their F1 crossbreeds (HOL × RDC) when provided different feed rations. The aim of our study was to assess how different energy concentrations in feed rations affect growth, BCS, feed intake, and feed...
