In the wake of the industry's live baiting scandal, the state body has introduced new laws prohibiting the use of anything but artificial lures.

"Under the new rule, any lure or similar apparatus used in the training of greyhounds must be artificial and must not carry any organic product, including blood," Racing Queensland CEO, Darren Condon said in a statement.

A new welfare levy will also be implemented from Sunday to fund additional integrity measures in the greyhound industry.

The levy will be imposed on prizemoney and subsidy schemes and Condon said the move reinforced the organisation's zero tolerance stance on animal cruelty.

"The greyhound industry is being challenged and we must work together to completely eradicate this type of conduct from the industry forever,"he said.

"Racing Queensland has a zero tolerance and will do everything it can to stop it."

Condon said while he had faith that the majority of trainers treated animals properly, change needed to be made.

"I recognise there are people in the industry who have not been involved in animal cruelty practices, but tough decisions needed to be made around the way this investigation and our future welfare strategies progress," he said.

"As a result the levy has been implemented to ensure this contribution is made by the industry.

"We have made it clear there is no place in the industry for people who engage in animal cruelty practices and while the new measures mean reduced returns to participants, animal welfare must be our number one priority."

Thirteen Queensland trainers have been investigated in the wake of the live baiting scandal,

Queensland trainers Reg Kay, Debra Arnold, Tom Noble, Tony McCabe, James Harding, Michael Chapman and Greg Stella were issued with show cause notices last Thursday in relation to live baiting allegations, with seven days to respond.

The Racing Queensland board will meet on Monday to consider responses, though there is no guarantee a decision will be made on the trainers' futures then.

Six other Queensland trainers remain suspended as the investigation continues.
