Manhattan ? A South African animal health company is relocating its headquarters and research operation to Manhattan.

The Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce on Friday announced that Megastarter Inc. will initially bring 13 jobs to the area.

Chamber CEO Lyle Butler said that number should grow as the company gets federal approval for its products in North America and expands production.

Megastarter, started three years ago, makes a supplement that reduces digestive problems and weight loss in cattle as they transition from feeding on grass to grain in feedlots.
