The paper evaluates simple meat preservation techniques with the potential for application at household or small scale butchers level in rural areas of Kenya. These techniques involve the lowering of water activity of meat and microbial inhibition chemically or physically. The experimental details for preservation by pressing and solar drying, chemical inhibition, quality factors, organoleptic assessment and costs are also discussed
