I believe that he did so, deliberately opening his veins several times 
to feed an inhumu or two.  It seemed that this altered their subsequent 
behavior, though Jahlee presents a counter-example (I believe that she 
was a recipient).  I couldn't opine whether Silkhorn's intent was simply 
to prevent them from preying on others or he had something else in mind 
without rereading.
