**ECO Animal Health Group plc **(LON: EAH), has today announced that its subsidiary
ECO Animal Health Limited (ECO) has received a marketing authorisation from the 
Ministry of Agriculture, Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health of the
Republic of Indonesia. The agreement is for the use of Aivlosin® water soluble granules
in chickens laying eggs for human consumption, with a zero day drug withdrawal period
for eggs. This approval has been granted under the Group’s other brand name Valosin
®.

Aivlosin®, ECO’s patented antimicrobial, is used under veterinary prescription for
the treatment of a variety of economically important respiratory and enteric (gut)
diseases in poultry and pigs.

> **Marc Loomes, CEO of ECO Animal Health Group plc, commented,**
> “Indonesia is ranked the number one market in Southeast Asia, and eighth globally,
> for laying bird numbers. Although the market is currently somewhat fragmented,
> we expect this to change in the future. It is key that the consumption of Aivlosin
> provides a zero day drug withdrawal period for eggs which is a significant competitive
> advantage for ECO. This latest approval demonstrates ECO’s continued progress 
> in rolling out this indication for commercial layers.”
