              NEW EUROPEAN REGISTRATIONS FOR ECOMECTIN® HORSE PASTE


In  November 2006 the Irish Medicines Board approved our Ecomectin® Horse  Paste
dewormer.  At  that  time  we indicated that we would use  the  European  Mutual
Recognition Procedure (MRP) to obtain further marketing authorisations  for  the
Horse   Paste.   We  are  now  pleased  to  advise  that  these  new   marketing
authorisations have been granted in a further sixteen countries of the  European
Union. This will allow ECO to build upon the success of the Irish licences.

Ecomectin®  Horse  Paste is licensed for the treatment  of  adult  and  immature
roundworms  and  bots in horses.  Recent market data places  ECO  as  a  leading
supplier of horse wormers in Ireland.

Peter Lawrence, Chairman of ECO Animal Health Group plc, commented:
"We  are delighted with this news. The treatment of internal parasites in horses
is  the largest equine veterinary market in Europe. We estimate that the segment
served  by  Ecomectin®  Horse  Paste has a total value  in  the  region  of  £25
million."
