Formic acid is used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. In the poultry industry, formic acid is sometimes added to feed to kill salmonella bacteria. Formic acid is used to process organic latex (sap) into raw rubber. Beekeepers use formic acid as a miticide against the Tracheal (Acarapis woodi) mite and the Varroa mite. It is the active ingredient in some brands of household limescale remover. It is used in laboratories as a solvent modifier for HPLC separations of proteins and peptides, especially when the sample is being prepared for mass spectrometry analysis. It is used by clinical pathology laboratories to disinfect prion activity in brain samples.
