Animal skins bear a great variety of micro organisms derived from air, water, soil, manure and extraneous filth. While the animal is alive most of these bacteria have little effect on the skin, but after flay, they immediately multiply very rapidly. It is the reason why hide/skin flayed must be treated immediately aiming to stop the bacteria growth and their action. Usually, the preservation methods used require chemicals, which, eventually, fall into wastewater. The presented work was aimed to investigate hide storing in vacuum at low temperature. It was established that vacuum prolongs the storage time without hide tissue putrefaction till 22 days when temperature of the storage is 4ºC. The micro organisms all storing time act but the action is weak and has not observable influence on the quality of hide. The hide shrinkage temperature decrease is negligible, and this shows that break of intermolecular bonds practically does not occur.
