The invention provides a method for culturing an avian reovirus. According to the method, because a vero cell which has excellent performance and is conducive to the proliferation of the avian reovirus is used as a host cell to be used for proliferating the avian reovirus, an optimized process for culturing the avian reovirus can be determined. A bioreactor is adopted to culture and replicate the avian reovirus, and due to the adhesion of the cell to a carrier, the suspension culture of the cell can be realized, the number of vero cells in unit volume can be increased, and further, the yield of the avian reovirus can be improved. Meanwhile, because the avian reovirus culturing process can be monitored timely and controlled quantitatively, the stability of the production process can be guaranteed. Moreover, because the content of avian viral arthritis viruses in an avian viral arthritis virus liquor cultured by adopting the method is high, the content of antigens in the prepared inactivated vaccine is high, and the effect of the inactivated vaccine is good. Furthermore, due to the way of proliferating the avian reovirus by using the bioreactor through the microcarrier, the cost can be lowered, the labor can be saved, and the stability of the product can be improved.
