Documents obtained by the Greens confirmed multiple reports of animal cruelty by the Van Diemen's Land Company.
However, it is understood the government conducted an investigation and determined some information was inadvertently released in the RTI decision that did not relate to the company.
A Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment spokesman said the department has issued an amended RTI.
"The Department apologises to Van Dairy Group and the RTI Applicant for the error," he said.
"The Department reiterates that all the complaints made in the original RTI as released by the department were followed up by experienced biosecurity inspectors and no evidence of breaches of the Animal Welfare Act were found."
