The objective of this paper is to describe new methods and strategies for the on-farm verification of the proper functioning of ammonia mitigation technologies, that are based on routine farm monitoring of process and output parameters. The adoption of these strategies in the regulatory framework should result in a much wider and better utilization of available mitigation options. The paper describes the evolution and state of the art of current verification strategies in the Netherlands. Two alternative approaches are presented. Both approaches are based on intensive monitoring and continuous logging of the mitigation process. In the first approach data from key parameters that reflect the effectiveness of the mitigation process are logged in a secured database and made available at any time to interested parties, including regulators; in this approach no direct measurements of pollutant concentrations in the air are involved. The second approach is based on continuous direct measurementt and logging of air pollutant concentrations in the ventilation air of a low ammonia housing system using sensors. In conclusion we expect that the application of automated monitoring systems combined with secured databases opens up new perspectives for different types of mitigation technology, like air cleaners or feed additves. To utilize the benefits of output-oriented verification, reliable and robust gas ammonia sensors are required that are not available yet. It is expected that a direct verification of emission parameters is currently only feasible in mechanically ventilated buildings
