In the fetal pig, the rectum and anus have nothing to do with digestion - fetal pigs receive all their nutrition through exchanges with the mother's blood in the placenta.
After birth, the rectum is responsible for removing any remaining excess water from the solid excrement to maintain proper water balance in the pig. Otherwise, neither the rectum nor the anus have any function in digestion - they function to excrete waste products.
