The small intestine of a pig is a major site of nutrient absorption. The pancreas releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine, which break down nutrients from food. The nutrients are absorbed in the last section of the small intestine, and whatever is left passes to the large intestine.

What are the finger-like projections in the intestines?

The finger-like projections in the small intestines are called villi & they are present in the small intestine to increase the surface area of the intestinal wall. A greater surface area allows the intestines to absorb more nutrients from the digested food into the blood stream. Villi are prominent in the small intestines because this is where majority of the absorption of nutrients occur. Villi also play a small role in the digestion of food.
