What is the size of a cow pancreas?

The size and weight of a cow pancreas vary depending on the breed and size of the animal.

Generally speaking, the pancreas of a cow can range in weight from 1-3 pounds (0.45-1.36 kilograms) and can be approximately 10-15 inches (25-40 centimeters) in length. It is located in the abdomen, near the stomach and other organs involved in digestion.

The pancreas of cows is an elongated, lobulated, glandular organ with both endocrine and exocrine functions. The endocrine portion produces and releases hormones like insulin and glucagon, which are essential for regulating blood glucose levels. The exocrine portion produces and secretes digestive enzymes such as lipase, amylase, and protease into the digestive tract, aiding in the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
