Bennett et al. proposed a family of protocols for entanglement distillation, namely, hashing, recurrence and breeding protocols. The last one was considered inefficient and has been investigated little, because it was considered inferior to the hashing protocol. In this paper, we propose a general framework of converting a stabilizer quantum error-correcting code to a breeding protocol. Then, we show an example of a stabilizer that gives a breeding protocol better than hashing protocols.
