The Kubin Stockbreeding Cooperative Farm in Kangdong County, Pyongyang, has used spirulina as protein feed to increase livestock products.

The farm, with the help of a scientific research institute, has built a facility for the production of liquefied spirulina spores and solved technological problems concerning the production.

Many other foodstuff factories and stockbreeding farms throughout the country have made preparations to introduce liquefied spirulina spores in production.
