a fetal pig has not been born yet, so if it was born, no.
Why yes of course
In the fetal pig, the small intestine is located in the abdominal cavity, extending from the stomach to the large intestine. It is situated between the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine connected to the stomach) and the ileum (the last part before the large intestine). The small intestine is coiled and occupies a central position in the abdomen, surrounded by other organs.

The weight of a fetal pig's small intestine is said to be about 8.13 g. The weight of its large intestine is said to be 3.03 g.
Usually caused by a narrowing in the small intestine.

The small intestine functions in digestion, and the large intestine functions in reabsorbing water and ions.
Fetal pigs are most often used in dissection classes because aspects of their biology closely resembles ours. The large intestine of a fetal pig is typically 1-3 feet in length.
no...
A person can survive without a small intestine, but it typically requires specialized medical management, such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or enteral feeding through a jejunostomy. Predigested food, often termed elemental or semi-elemental nutrition, can be beneficial, as it is easier for the body to absorb. However, the absence of a small intestine can lead to significant challenges, including malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies, so ongoing medical supervision is essential for adequate nutrition and overall health.
The small intestine of a pig is a major site of nutrient absorption. The pancreas releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine, which break down nutrients from food. The nutrients are absorbed in the last section of the small intestine, and whatever is left passes to the large intestine.
