The intensive poultry industry in Kosovo fulfills a significant portion of the local demand for eggs. Considering this context, the sustainable development of this industry necessitates specific attention due to potential risks and threats. This paper aims to identify and evaluate legal risk events associated with the industry. We created a questionnaire with eight questions, using information from previous research and considering the actual conditions of the intensive poultry industry in Kosovo. Through face-to-face interviews with farmers and agricultural economists, we empirically assessed the likelihood and impact of each legal risk event. We set using a Likert scale ranging from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed to evaluate the risk level of each event. The qualitative analysis and interpretation of the results emphasized the risk factors, which were categorized based on severity. The findings indicate that two events exhibit a mouse-like level of aggressiveness; one mirrors the aggressiveness of a rabbit, another resembles that of a shark, and four display the hostility of a lion. The quantitative analysis and interpretation of the results revealed a relatively high distribution of 75%, with a standard deviation of 9,608 euros and a considerably high coefficient of variation (95%) if these events were to occur. To mitigate the adverse impact of legal risk events, we recommend that farmers seek additional information and consult with professionals such as economists, veterinarians, animal husbandry experts, and lawyers.
