It is used as a feed, seed and silage. It is also a high-energy feed source necessary for fattening up cattle and hogs for slaughter, since it puts on fat quickly when fed in high amounts.

Why is it important that hogs and cattle eat corn?

It is actually not important at all, especially for cattle. Cattle can live just fine without having to eat corn; many are grazed on pasture or a rangeland without any corn supplement to "keep them alive" as some extremists might be known to say. Corn grain is actually an unnatural food source for cattle, and will cause metabolic and digestive problems when fed in excess and introduced too quickly. It is alright as a supplement if and when it is needed to meet their energy requirements--especially if they're cold stressed, for instance--but other than that, it's not all that important or crucial to feed them corn at all. As far as hogs as concerned, they don't really need it either, but their digestive systems are much different from that of a ruminant like a bovine. Hogs can and will eat anything, unlike cattle, so it is more debatable as to whether it's "important" that corn be fed to hogs or not. Wild feral pigs often raid corn fields just to eat the succulent corn kernels and chew on the roots, and they likely do so because they know the corn tastes good and they can easily digest it than cattle can (though cattle love the taste of the corn kernels too).
