Four representative charges – laid against a company and an individual – have been filed at the Huntly District Court under the Animal Welfare Act and the Animal Products Act.
The first hearing in relation to these charges has been set down for June 21.
Ten charges were also laid against a separate individual in March.
A hearing in relation to this charge has been set down for June 2.
MPI began an investigation in September 2015 after receiving many hours of footage recording alleged offences involving bobby calves in the Waikato region.
MPI Acting Director of Compliance Steve Gilbert said the investigation has been careful, methodical and was ongoing.
He said MPI investigators were actively pursuing other lines of inquiry and, as these matters were both under investigation and before the Court, MPI was unable to comment any further.
