No, cows on average can live longer than pigs. Cows can live 12-15 years, while pigs will live on average 5-7 years.

Pet micro pigs live approx. 15-18 years, outliving the life expectancy of a farm cow.

Pigs and cows are not the same animal at all. Pigs are much smaller than cows and they are omnivores instead of herbivores. They don't have a furry coat and they have tightly curled tails.

What is the difference in the digestion of cellulose in pigs and cows?

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.

Why can a cow eat large amounts of hay and a pig can't?

For one, cows are much bigger than pigs and thus have larger stomachs. Two, cows are able to digest a lot of hay much more efficiently than pigs can. Three, the digestiive systems are different between a cow and a pig. Cows are fore-gut fermentors or ruminants. Pigs are monogastrics. Fore-gut fermentors are built to digest roughages like forages, where as monogastrics are built to digest a diet high in starches, protein and carbohydrates much more efficiently (without getting sick) than cows. Four, cows love hay. Pigs don't, and they normally wouldn't even touch the stuff.
