There are five lobes in a pig liver. They are the right lateral, right central, left lateral, left central and caudate.
The lobes in a pig's liver help to divide the liver into functional units, allowing for efficient processing of nutrients and toxins.

The lobes also allow for the organized distribution of blood vessels and bile ducts throughout the liver.
