It appears shorter in a pig because the esophagus does not lead very far before it empties into the pigs stomach. Where the food is then digested throughout the rest of the digestive system.
In the fetal pig, the esophageal opening is located dorsal to the glottis. The esophagus lies to the top of the stomach, in close proximity to the diaphragm.
The size of a pig's esophagus is dependent upon a number of factors. Some of those factors include the breed, weight and age.
A pig has 63,283,677,008,126,448,957,690,033,275,756,412,384,858,205,285,207,103,206,589,103,454,565,747,297,000,191,667,113,999,088,436,634,888,006,123,456,436,104,485,492,395,107,202,520,602,206 stomachs.
There is a slang phrase that says fat as a tonky pig. However, this type of pig does not appear to be a true species of pig.
The pig esophagus is lined with a stratified squamous epithelium designed for food transport and protection from abrasion, while the trachea is composed of cartilage rings and lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium to facilitate air passage and filtration. The esophagus lacks cartilage support, has a mucus-secreting submucosa, and undergoes peristalsis to move food to the stomach, unlike the trachea.
The esophagus of a fetal pig, like many organs and body parts, looks very similar to that of a human. It is a long narrow tube, pinkish in color, with cilia lined in the inside (to help push down the food). Click on the link below for pictures of a fetal pig esophagus:

In a pig, the trachea is located on the ventral side, while the esophagus is positioned dorsal to the trachea. The esophagus runs behind the trachea and is responsible for transporting food from the mouth to the stomach. Thus, the esophagus is dorsal relative to the trachea.
