The method comprises administration of a preparation of Haemophilus somnus (H. somnus) and/or Haemophilus ovis (H. ovis) or a combination of H. somnus and H. ovis antigen, by intramuscular injection. Vaccination with antigens specific to these bacilli will prevent onset of Navicular Disease and will prevent further degeneration of the Navicular bone and bursa in animals afflicted with the disease.
