Re: Registration Statement on Form SB-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as special Nevada counsel for AgFeed Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of the resale of up to 3,638,580 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, 3,026,753 shares of which are issued and outstanding and 611,827 shares of which are issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”). All shares of Common Stock being registered under the Registration Statement are to be offered and sold, if at all, by certain stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”).

We have reviewed and are familiar with (a) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, (b) a certificate of an officer of the Company representing certain matters in connection with the original issuance of the Common Stock and the Warrants, which representations we have assumed the validity of and relied on, and (c) such other matters as we have deemed necessary for this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders, to the extent currently outstanding, have been duly authorized and legally issued by the Company and are fully paid and nonassessable, and to the extent issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders, when issued in accordance with the exercise provisions of such Warrants and on the substantive terms approved by the Board of Directors, will be duly authorized and legally issued by the Company and fully paid and nonassessable. This opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.
