Most of Propionic Acid production is used as a preservative in stored animal feed and grain. Examples of its agricultural applications include: antibacterial additive (for livestock and poultry drinking water); surface sanitizer (storage areas for silage and grain); poultry-litter additive; and high moisture grains in indoor storage.
To a lesser extent, Propionic Acid is also used as food additive and chemical intermediate for herbicides, pharmaceuticals, rubber products, plastics, plasticizers, among others.

Propionic Acid, also known as propanoic acid, is a carboxylic acid normally found in nature, mainly in the form of its esters in some essential oils. This fatty acid is also formed in a number of enzymatic and fermentation processes. Widely used in the production of cellulose esters, plastic dispersions and herbicides, Propionic Acid has gained importance over the past years for applications related to preservation of forage cereals and animal feeds.
