Analysis of the implementation of opossum (Didelphis marsupialis) breeding in Colombia
The present investigation describes the main characteristics of chucha, fara or opossum (Didelphis marsupialis) that should be considered for the establishment of its captive breeding in Colombia as an effective tool for the preservation of the species within the framework of systems of rational use of its products. For its development, analytical and comparative methods of relevant scientific and normative information were used, regarding the use of the species in an international and national context. The most relevant results are developed around the great variety of reported uses, from environmental to research, religious and food, the broad national regulations clearly established for the development of captive breeding systems, and the few technical requirements established for this end.
