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).

Where is the pigs large intestine located?
The pig's large intestine is located in the same place yours it located. This one reason that fetal pigs are used in dissection. The large intestine is part of the lower digestive tract. It comes after the small intestine and it acts to remove water and to hold on to your feces until you can find that bathroom.

What is the function of the large intestine of the fetal pig?
The large intestine of the fetal pig primarily functions in the absorption of water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter, helping to form and store feces. It also plays a role in the fermentation of undigested materials by gut bacteria. Unlike in postnatal pigs, the large intestine in fetal pigs is not heavily involved in digestion, as they receive nutrients through the placenta rather than solid food.
Do they purify the pigs before they sale them. is the human intestine still inside of the pig?

Length of large intestine in fetal pig?
Fetal pigs are most often used in dissection classes because aspects of their biology closely resembles ours. The large intestine of a fetal pig is typically 1-3 feet in length.
Do pigs small intestine have a rich blood supply?
yes
What is the anatomy of the alimentary canal in fetal pigs?
The alimentary canal of fetal pigs consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, rectum), and anus. These structures play a role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, with some modifications present in fetal pigs compared to adult pigs for fetal development and nutrient absorption during early stages of life.
Do chickens have large intestines?
Yes, chickens have a relatively short and simple digestive system compared to mammals. They do have a large intestine, but it is not as developed as in mammals and plays a smaller role in their digestion. The ceca are two blind pouches located at the junction of the small and large intestines where fermentation takes place.
