Stephan Conter: "The small breeder is our greatest asset, which is why it’s time to consider limitations on ICSI breeding!"

For years, Belgian breeding has ranked among the world's best, driven by passion, craftsmanship, and a strong tradition. However, with the rise of modern reproductive techniques such as ICSI, concern is growing among leading breeders. Stephan Conter and Joris de Brabander advocate for a thoughtful policy that prioritizes quality over quantity and warn of a future in which breeding risks losing its soul to the laws of the market. "We must protect our strengths," they say, "and ensure that breeding remains fun and fair for everyone."
