The clinical manifestations of infectious laryngotracheitis infection in chickens mainly include dyspnea, wheezing, laryngeal swelling, throat redness, increased laryngeal discharge, eye redness, tearing, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. When the condition is severe, chickens may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, drooping wings, abdominal breathing, and neck stretching and screaming.
