Animal feeding has resumed at a farm which was forced to temporarily close after members of the public fell sick. 

Visitors will be able to feed animals at Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm once again after a new animal contact zone was put in place. 

The farm, between Great Blakenham and Needham Market, closed its doors in April after four visitors were struck with illness.

Investigations found it was linked to a possible outbreak of E.coli and Cryptosporidium.

Gates to the farm reopened in May, and it has been confirmed animals will resume.

The farm said in a statement: "Within our new contact zone there will be goats, sheep and Highland cows which can be fed on a flat hand. Our animals are very excited about it as they have missed their extra snacks. 

"Also within this zone is a new animal encounter area which will mean we are able to run our pig, pony and goat grooming as well as our bunny barn daily."

Additional improvements are being made to the farm, with new animal experiences also set to be added.
