The gallbladder acts as storage for bile, which is produced by the liver, and also serves to allow it to settle and become concentrated, which increases its effectiveness. Without the gall bladder, the bile constantly drips into the intestinal tract, but will still do its job, helping to digest fatty foods. Therefore the loss is quite easily tolerated, but diet will have to be controlled a little more strictly.

What does the gallbladder do for the liver in fetal pigs?
The gallbladder is connected to the liver. The liver creates bile which helps in the digestion of fats. The bile is stored in the gallbladder and then the gallbladder excretes it through the common bile duct, into the duodenum (small intestine) where it is put to use. During the storage of the bile, it becomes more concentrated. In humans, people can develop gallstones (similar to kidney stones in one's kidney) and results in the gallbladder being removed. People can live normally without the gallbladder as it is not an essential organ in the digestive system. (Note** The digestive system of a pig is almost identical to that of a human)
