Depending on whether the 10% is of the kg of milk or twice the kg of milk multiply by 0.21 or 0.22.
It's the same as your doing only in 1 step.

By my calculations there is a difference of 2.8% depending on whether you use 4.55 or 4.68. Which is more correct? How to know? Or am I picking at straws here?

Ah picking at straws I suppose, 4.55 for litres and 4.68 for kg, still over 40 gallons on 7000 kg cow. Milk is slightly denser than water hence the 4.68kg in a gallon.
