Cows are able to utilize more from the cellulose than pigs are, because cows have a digestive system that enables them to break down the cellulose into smaller pieces through the process of fermentation. Pigs, on the other hand, are not ruminants (which cows are), but are monogastrics, and cannot efficiently utilize cellulose like cows can. So, essentially, cellulose will simply "pass through" the system without much being taken away from it.
