Reviewer 1 Report
Dear authors
The manuscript has assessed heavy metals contamination and antibiotic resistance in broiler meat in Bangladesh.
Moreover, the findings of this study has not demonstrated reasons for levels and types of contamination and resistance.
I found several previous similar publications in the country which decrease the novelty of this research.
The association or correlation of heavy metals or antibiotics does not provide interesting findings for readers as the sources or reasons are vague.
Number of samples and studied area are narrow.
Overall, if these queries be addressed, the manuscript can be considered for review again.
best regards.
