You should have ben feeding them fine ground corn from the get go. Hogs do not have a multiple stomach like cattle. So you need to get the nutrients on the first pass. That means fine ground as that has more surface area for digestion.

I had hogs on feed all of the time until the late 1980s. I always used a 1/4 screen with shelled corn with the tractor at 540 PTO speed. I wanted to see few if any crack kernels in the finished feed. I wanted it to look like corn meal not flour.

IF your buying your feed you have been paying more for cracked corn over ground corn.
