Best Answer

The sheep's caecum is quite big and this is what makes it possible for sheep to digest fiber. This is a large pouch that is found at the end of the large intestine.

How does a pig's large intestine differ from a human large intestine?

There is an organ, known as the caecum (or cecum), that is attched to the large intestine. It is important in an herbivores digestive system, as it helps break down raw plants. As herbivores, pigs are benefitted by this organs presence. In humans, however, the caecum has become a vestigial organ (the appendix).


Is the caecum important?

The importance of the caecum depends on the species. For carnivores and omnivores (such as humans and dogs), the caecum is not important. For herbivores, like the horse, the caecum is important because it houses bacteria that help it breakdown food (eg. cellulose).

Why do humans not have a caecum?

Yes they do - herbivores such as horses have much larger caecums that ferment and digest plant fibre. Carnivores have much smaller ones Humans have a caecum which is a small pouch it lies at the section between the small and large intestine. (the illeum and colon) the illeocecal valve stops fluid flowing back into the smallintestine.
