Assessment of robustness and sensitivity in the 10 sire families according to their score (from 1, the most robust, to 10, the most sensitive) on boars’ posterior median breeding values differences between temperate and tropical environments on BW and backfat thickness at week 23 (BW at 23 wk of age [BW₂₃] and BFT at 23 wk of age [BFT₂₃]), and daily feed intake (ADFI) and residual feed intake (RFI) during the overall test period, and rectal temperature measured at week 23 (RT₂₃). The closer to the center the sire family pentagon is, the more robust it is.
