Regulatory Approval

2 June 2009


                           ECO Animal Health Group plc



                          ECO RECEIVES FURTHER APPROVAL
                                  FOR AIVLOSIN®


ECO Animal Health Group plc is pleased to announce that its subsidiary ECO
Animal Health Limited (ECO) has been granted registration approval from the
European Commission to commence marketing its Aivlosin® 625 mg/g granules for
oral solution for medicated drinking water for pigs. This marketing approval is
the final step in the approval process and follows the positive opinion from the
Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) of the European
Medicines Agency (EMEA) which we announced on 18 March 2009. ECO expects to
commence marketing in early Autumn 2009.

This new pan-European approval is in addition to the current European
authorisations for the Aivlosin® product portfolio for use in pigs and poultry.
This presentation of Aivlosin®, ECO's patented macrolide antibiotic, will be
marketed for the treatment and prevention of ileitis (porcine proliferative
enteropathy (PPE)), a market segment estimated to be worth in the region of US
$30 million per annum at manufacturer level.

Aivlosin®  granules  for  oral  solution  dissolve  readily  in  drinking  water
providing a simple solution for the accurate and simultaneous treatment of large
numbers of pigs.

Peter Lawrence, Chairman of ECO Animal Health Group plc, commented:
"This  is  a  very  important  approval and  marks  further  progress  in  ECO's
continuing  development  of Aivlosin® as a global veterinary  product.  It  will
significantly extend the sales and marketing reach of Aivlosin®"
