Some traditions are not measured by dates on a calendar, but by the warmth of human connection. For many years, the pupils of Ulukovskaya Boarding School have eagerly awaited a special day, when the familiar roar of motorcycle engines announces the arrival of their loyal friends from the Minsk Chapter of the HOG motorcycle club in Belarus. This heartwarming gathering has long become an annual celebration, bringing together people of different ages and professions around the most important values: care, attention and genuine compassion.

LAKRUA's participation has also become a cherished tradition. This year, the company once again joined the initiative by preparing sweet gifts and treats for the children.

LAKRUA also presented a special gift: a multimedia educational complex in the form of an interactive touchscreen table. This modern learning tool helps children develop essential skills through play. It includes hundreds of educational games and activities that promote logical thinking, attention and memory development, and teach counting, reading and writing. In an engaging and accessible way, it helps prepare children for school.

Such acts of kindness make the celebration even more heartwarming and the children's smiles even more sincere.

Every year, the school grounds are filled with music and children's laughter. Concerts, contests, group walks and the long-awaited opportunity to explore the motorcycles all create unforgettable memories. However, the true heart of this celebration is the enduring atmosphere of friendship. For the children, it is more than just a bright and exciting event — it is a reminder that there are people who remember them, support them and bring joy to their lives.

And as the roar of motorcycle engines echoes across the school grounds and genuine excitement shines in the children's eyes, one thing becomes clear: true friendship knows neither distance nor time. It returns year after year, turning an ordinary day into a meaningful and joyful occasion that everyone awaits with all their hearts.

From January 21 to 23, 2026, the international exhibition AGRAVIA 2026 took place in Moscow at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center. AGRAVIA 2026 became one of the key events of the agro-industrial sector, bringing together modern technologies and solutions for agribusiness professionals. Under the new AGRAVIA brand, the exhibitions AgrosExpo and AgroTechExpo were presented, both of which have established themselves as effective international platforms for showcasing innovations and fostering business cooperation.

Within the framework of the exhibition, LAKRUA, together with its international partners Angel Yeast, Sichuan Chelota Biotech Corporation, Liaoning Yahe Nutritive, and Weifang Addeasy Bio-Technology, presented modern solutions in the field of animal nutrition. The joint exhibition demonstrated an integrated approach to the development of feed technologies and emphasized the importance of international partnership.

The company’s product portfolio includes fourth-generation zinc LAKRUA ® ZINCOSTAR, LAKRUA ® AMINO acidifiers and preservatives, a range of organic trace elements and rumen-protected products for cattle, as well as feed additives for all types of farm animals based on yeast cultures.

The LAKRUA exhibition stand attracted significant interest from the professional audience, including heads of agricultural enterprises, industry experts, and international partners. The showcased solutions became a basis for productive discussions and contributed to strengthening cooperation with existing and potential clients.

The KormVetGrain-2025 exhibition, held on 29–31 October at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow, became the key industry event of the autumn for specialists of the agro-industrial complex. It brought together more than 10,000 professionals from Russia and 31 countries around the world. The exposition united leading manufacturers of feed, feed additives, veterinary drugs, and equipment for the compound feed industry and grain processing.

The business program included forums, round tables, and conferences dedicated to modern feed production technologies, safety issues, veterinary medicine, and aquaculture. Participants noted the high efficiency of the exhibition, the intensity of business contacts, and the significant contribution of the event to the development of the industry.

One of the most notable events of the exhibition was the joint participation of Sichuan Chelota Biotech and LAKRUA, which became a logical stage in the development of their strategic partnership. Sichuan Chelota Biotech is a leading Chinese manufacturer of feed additives and trace elements, founded in 1997 and located in Sichuan Province. The company specializes in organic and inorganic trace elements, premixes, and chelated additives, relying on modern technologies, automated production lines, and its own research center, the Trace Elements in Nutrition Research Center.

The professional community showed extremely high interest in the innovative products presented, and preliminary agreements have already been reached regarding the implementation of solutions under the LAKRUA brand.

The partnership between LAKRUA and Sichuan Chelota Biotech continues to strengthen, forming a solid foundation for the promotion of high-tech solutions in the EAEU market.

On September 26, 2025, the II International Agriculture Forum was held in Minsk, bringing together leading experts from the agricultural sector, veterinary and zootechnical fields, farmers, business representatives, and government bodies. The forum became a significant platform for discussing current issues in agriculture, showcasing innovative technologies, and exchanging practical experience. Participants highlighted the high level of organization and the wide range of topics covered.

Particular attention was drawn to the presentation by LAKRUA LLC. Master of Agricultural Sciences Maksim Stanislavovich Ukhov delivered a report titled “Anatomy of Stress. Ketosis and Heat Stress: Causes and Solutions” within the section dedicated to cattle zootechnics. The presentation attracted great interest among specialists: listeners noted the depth of analysis and the practical value of the proposed solutions. The issues of ketosis and heat stress proved especially relevant in light of the modern challenges faced by agricultural enterprises.

Forum participants highly appreciated the professionalism of LAKRUA specialists, their ability to combine a scientific approach with practical recommendations that can be implemented on farms today. Thanks to such a presentation, the company strengthened its position as a reliable and competent partner in the livestock industry. The forum confirmed that the sector faces serious challenges, but companies like LAKRUA help find effective ways to address them.

The participation of LAKRUA LLC in the forum took place as part of cooperation with its partner company Beijing Yahe Nutrition High Tech Co., Ltd, which provided up-to-date information on modern feed solutions and technologies. This became a logical continuation of the successful partnership between the two companies and reinforced LAKRUA’s role as a reliable conductor of innovation in animal husbandry.

In the first half of June 2025, a delegation of the Chinese company Beijing Yahe Nutrition High Tech Co., Ltd., together with representatives of its official partner in the Republic of Belarus — LAKRUA LLC — visited a number of leading livestock enterprises in the Grodno and Minsk regions.

The purpose of the visit was to become acquainted with advanced production technologies, as well as to conduct a bilateral exchange of experience in the areas of feeding, reproduction, and ruminant health. On the Belarusian side, the visit attracted interest from both farm managers and technical specialists, for whom the meeting became an opportunity to discuss the latest approaches to feeding and productivity improvement.

Yahe Nutrition — a global expert in ruminant nutrition

Founded in 2005, Yahe Nutrition is a leader in the development and production of rumen-protected feed additives such as: MeTarget (rumen-protected methionine), CholiTarget (rumen-protected choline chloride), GluNergy (rumen-protected glucose), ViTarget (rumen-protected vitamins), and LysTarget (rumen-protected lysine).

These innovative solutions are aimed at improving the productivity of dairy and beef cattle and are widely used both in China and in international markets. Some of these solutions are patented in China and the USA. The company’s products are certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 22000, and FAMI-QS standards, confirming their high quality and safety.

Practical visits to Belarusian enterprises

The first site visited was the “Imeni Den’shchikova” agricultural production cooperative in the Grodno region — one of the most productive farms in the region, where the average milk yield per cow is 13,128 kg (as of January 1, 2025), and the milking herd numbers 2,210 head.

The next stop was the agricultural production cooperative “Imeni I.P. Senko”, which is also located in the Grodno region. The enterprise includes four dairy complexes and a pig breeding complex. At the time of the visit, the herd comprised 2,025 dairy cows with an average milk yield of 12,908 kg.

Of particular interest was the visit to Belintergen LLC in the Minsk region. This enterprise is known not only for its high productivity but also for its scientific base: its director is a Doctor of Biological Sciences. The farm keeps both dairy and beef cattle, is actively engaged in reproduction, and has its own laboratory. On the day of the visit, four cows calved — the newborn calves were symbolically named after the guests.

The final stage was a visit to the “Novy Dvor-Agro” farm in the Grodno region. The visit left a particularly vivid impression thanks to the hospitality and open dialogue with the management, which showed great interest in the experience of Chinese specialists and discussed potential avenues of cooperation.

Mutual interest and practical benefits

The visit took place in an atmosphere of professional dialogue, openness, and mutual interest. Yahe Nutrition specialists gained a unique opportunity to study the Belarusian model of dairy farming, while Belarusian farms were able to directly communicate with the developers of modern feed solutions and receive recommendations on improving productivity and animal health.

The parties discussed practical issues, including: increasing milk yields, reducing livestock culling, adapting rumen-protected feed additives to local conditions, and prospects for further cooperation.

A course for development

LAKRUA, as the exclusive dealer of Yahe Nutrition in Belarus, continues to expand cooperation and offer agricultural producers a wide range of innovative rumen-protected products.

The results of the visit confirmed the strong interest of both parties in continuing interaction and laid a solid foundation for strengthening scientific and production partnerships between China and Belarus in the field of animal husbandry.

In addition to the business program, the guests had the opportunity to discover the history of Grodno during a walking tour of the old town. Cozy streets, rich architectural heritage, and the atmosphere of hospitality left the delegation with the warmest impressions. Representatives of Yahe Nutrition noted that they enjoyed not only the professional level of Belarusian farms but also Belarus itself — a country with rich culture and sincere warmth.

LAKRUA is not just a successful business — it consciously and consistently fulfills its mission of social responsibility. Caring for children, especially those who require special attention, and supporting educational institutions is not a one-time action, but a long-standing tradition that the company’s team considers a matter of honor.

One of the company’s key charitable priorities remains supporting children with developmental disabilities who study at the Ulukovskaya Special Boarding School. For several years, the company has been providing comprehensive support to the institution — from purchasing modern equipment and furniture to organizing events that bring joy and a sense of wonder to the children.

This year, LAKRUA donated interactive whiteboards for educational purposes and sweet gifts for Children’s Day and New Year, continuing its tradition of care and attention.

Together with LAKRUA, the Minsk Chapter Belarus HOG biker club once again gave the boarding school students an unforgettable experience. At the beginning of summer, the children visited the Gomel park, where they enjoyed amusement rides and a riverboat cruise. These meetings have become a true celebration that the children eagerly anticipate every year.

Supporting education is another important area of LAKRUA’s work. The company continues to contribute to the technical improvement of educational institutions. For example, in State Educational Institution “Gymnasium No. 33 of Minsk,” the mathematics classroom was renovated, new furniture was installed, and an interactive whiteboard was added. Another interactive whiteboard was provided for the elementary school classrooms.

Additionally, renovations are underway in the school psychologist’s and special education teacher’s office, helping to create an even more comfortable and safe environment for working with children who need a specialized pedagogical approach.

LAKRUA LLC will continue to support those in need, creating the conditions for growth, education, and a happy childhood.

At the end of January 2025, Moscow once again became the focal point for professionals in the agricultural sector. From January 22 to 24, the International AGROS 2025 Exhibition took place at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center, bringing together more than 800 companies from 25 countries and attracting over 20,000 specialists from across Russia and the EAEU countries.

The exhibition covered a wide range of topics, including breeding, feed, veterinary medicine, and modern technologies in livestock farming, pig farming, poultry farming, and feed production. The event was held with the active support of relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, as well as leading industry associations and organizations.

For LAKRUA, participating in AGROS 2025 was a significant milestone. Our booth became a platform where visitors had the opportunity to learn about the company’s products in detail and receive expert consultations from our technical specialists. We showcased both our traditional products and the latest innovations from the LAKRUA brand: LAKRUA® Amino organic trace elements and LAKRUA® organic acids. These products have already proven to be reliable and effective tools for improving the productivity of farm animals.

However, AGROS 2025 was not just about showcasing products—it was about communication, exchanging experiences, and discovering new ideas. We take pride in the fact that our participation in the exhibition allowed us to hold numerous meetings, both with our long-term partners and with new companies we had not worked with before. Each of these meetings represents a new step toward strengthening our market position and expanding our supply geography.

A special highlight of our participation was the collaboration with our partners Angel Yeast and Addeasy Group. We are proud to represent their products in the EAEU market, including yeast-based feed additives derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and organic acids.

AGROS 2025 not only provided us with new connections but also brought us inspiration. We witnessed the genuine interest of visitors in our booth, heard sincere positive feedback, and felt the keen attention to our products. This motivates us to move forward, seek new solutions, and continue developing.

AGROS 2025 was more than just a platform for showcasing products—it was a vibrant, dynamic environment filled with energy, meetings, and exchanges that left a lasting impression on all its participants. For LAKRUA, it was yet another confirmation that we are on the right path.

On September 27, 2024, an International Agriculture Forum was held in Minsk, bringing together leading experts, representatives of the agro-industrial complex, government officials, and specialists from various countries. The main goal of the event was to discuss modern challenges and prospects for the development of agriculture in the context of climate change, technology, and economic shifts.

LAKRUA LLC served as an official partner of the forum. During the event, specialists from the company and our colleagues from ADDCON (Germany) presented a series of reports on current issues in animal feed and innovations in productivity management.

The forum in Minsk became an important platform for dialogue between government structures, private companies, and the scientific community. It facilitated the establishment of new partnerships and created opportunities for joint work in the field of agriculture. Participants expressed confidence that such events play a key role in stimulating the sustainable development of the agro-industrial sector and improving the global food system.

The company LAKRUA is not only successful, but also actively supports educational institutions. Recently, we provided office equipment to State Educational Institution "Gymnasium No. 33 of Minsk" to improve the educational process. The joy of the children and their gratitude confirmed the importance of our efforts. We are confident that supporting the younger generation will help change the future for the better.

Ride on a «Harley»: bikers gave a holiday to the children of a boarding school in the Gomel region.

May 28, Gomel.

A real holiday was presented to the children of the State Educational Institution “Ulukovskaya Auxiliary Boarding School” in the Gomel region by the members of the Minsk Chapter Belarus Club, Hog. This was reported to BelTA.

Before Children's Day, “Ulukovskaya Auxiliary Boarding School” was visited by guests who have patronized the institution for five years.

On April 23, 2020, Lakrua donated a HAMILTON-C3 ventilator worth $ 62,786 to the Intensive Care Unit of the 6th Clinical Hospital in Minsk for treatment of the patients with COVID-19. In these difficult times for society, our company could not stand aside. Like many others, we do our best to help people.
COVID-19 affects the lungs in about 20% of cases, and patients can quickly develop severe illness that features pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Such patients need to be ventilated to maintain high oxygen levels until their lungs can function in a normal way again as they recover.
An increased number of patients who need to be ventilated at the same time became a real challenge for the healthcare system in many countries.
Having more ventilators in a hospital can increase the chance of saving every patient who needs respiratory support.

We believe that our help can save someone's life.

After a relative lull that occurred in most countries in July-August, by mid-to-late September, the statistics of new cases of COVID-19 infection again rushed dangerously upward - and soon surpassed the peak spring rates.

Our company continues to support healthcare organizations at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19.

LLC "Lakrua" has purchased and supplied to the 3^rd City Clinical Hospital named after E.V. Klumov   medical equipment:

• blood pressure monitors MICROLIFE;
• syringe pumps DSh-09;
• electrocardiograph SMART.
