CLAIMS that thousands of greyhounds are killed each year in NSW and others are given performance enhancing drugs will be examined by a cross-party state parliamentary committee.
Greens MP John Kaye, deputy chair of the select committee, told AAP the financial relationship between Greyhound Racing NSW and the TAB would also be looked at.
"Greyhound racing is about 20 per cent of the money bet on the TAB but they only get just over 12 per cent of the money that was raised," he said on Thursday.
"Greyhound Racing NSW claims they're not being given their fare share of TAB revenues.
Mr Kaye, who moved the motion to establish the committee, said across Australia 17,000 greyhounds are killed annually.
"That's a huge toll. There are too many trainers who are just breeding animals and wiping out a large percentage of the pups," he said.
He estimates about 6000 a year are culled in NSW.
Representatives from Greyhound Racing NSW, NSW Greyhound Breeders, Owners and Traders Association and the government's Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing will front the probe.
Evidence from two vets, Greyhound Rescue Inc, and the Animal Welfare League will also be heard.
The committee comprises two crossbench MPs, two opposition MPs and three government MPs.
The hearing will be held at Penrith Panthers Leagues Club from 10am (AEDT) on Friday.
