Pouch or large tube like structure in the lower abdominal cavity that receives undigested food material from the small intestine and is considered the first region of the large intestine. The first part of the colon, basically a big pouch that receives waste material from the small intestine.

If you're talking about a horse, there's a four- foot long organ called the cecum located at the bottom of the barrel (stomach) and helps digest plants. What it didn't digest is transferred to the rectum as solid waste.
