Conclusion: The study showed that dry matter and protein contents are lower in the fresh meat pieces than in the dried samples while fat, carbohydrates and energy are higher in the fresh meat than the dried samples. The dried samples had higher functional properties, higher proteins and lower fat contents compared to oven-dried samples. The sun-dried samples had higher acceptability level than the oven-dried samples. Sun drying of the meat samples is therefore recommended
provided it is done under an hygienic condition.
